No. You can submit the FAFSA form online without a PIN, and then print, sign and mail your signature page to the Department of Education. However, when you are completing the application online, you can request a ‘real time’ PIN, which can be used immediately. The PIN website is www.pin.ed.gov. Having a PIN allows you to submit your FAFSA quicker.
