Yes. Filing a FAFSA electronically is much faster than filing a paper FAFSA. The process may be as much as 7-14 days faster if you electronically sign your application using your PIN. Electronic filing eliminates delays that can occur by mailing the application. Also, FAFSA on the Web edits the application prior to submitting it to the U.S. Department of Education which significantly reduces the number of errors on the application.

Electronic filing is faster than filing a paper form. The process may be as much as 6 weeks faster if you electronically sign your application as soon as you complete it. Submitting your application on the Web edits your application before you transmit; ensuring that the data you transmit to the U.S. Department of Education is ready to be processed.
