How can a parent create a FSA ID without Social Security number?

Parents without Social Security numbers are not able to create an FSA ID to sign the FAFSA electronically. You will need to print the FAFSA signature page, have your parent physically sign it and mail it to the federal processor within 14 days. The mailing address will be listed on the signature page.
