Yes — while having an FSA ID can streamline your federal financial aid process, you do not need one to file your FAFSA. In order to file the form without an ID, you can select “submit without signatures” during the submission process, though you will then need to send a signed version of the form or a signature page via mail. If you want to view or change any of your FAFSA information online, however, you will need an FSA ID.
