The signature page is a document that is generated by FAFSA on the Web. It includes your student ID, name, address, the type of application you completed, and a randomly generated identification number.

You can sign your FAFSA by printing, signing, and mailing a signature page. However, the application process is faster if you use your PIN to sign your FAFSA electronically, and you must use a PIN to sign a Renewal FAFSA or corrections to a FAFSA. You may also call the Federal Student Aid Information Center 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). to request a copy of your Student Aid Report (SAR) which can also be used to process a signature.

When a parent signature is required, your parent can print, sign, and mail a signature page if he or she does not want to sign electronically with a PIN.
