A PIN or Personal Identification Number is a four digit number assigned to you by the Federal Government in order to “sign” your FAFSA form online. If you are a dependent student ( under the age of 24 and live with a parent or guardian) your parent or guardian must have a PIN number too. If you do not have a PIN or have lost your PIN go to http://www.pin.ed.gov. If you need a PIN for the first time go to the “Apply for a PIN” box on the right hand side of the page and click “apply now” button. If you have lost your PIN you select “Request a Duplicate PIN” link on the left hand side of the page.
