The FSA ID

The FSA ID is a username and password combination that serves as a student’s or guardian's identifier to allow access to personal information in various U.S. Department systems and acts as a digital signature on some online forms. Students and guardians, if the student is considered a dependent, they will need to create a FSA ID before beginning the FAFSA.
