    Federal PINS (08-09)

    Your PINs are "Personal Identification Numbers" that function as electronic signatures and IDs. You will have separate PINs for federal aid and State of Florida program, so be sure to use the correct PIN. You will use your PINS year after year. Keep them in a safe place!

    Your Federal PIN

    Your federal PIN allows you access to personal information in U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) systems such as applying for federal student aid.

    Use your Federal PIN to:

    1. access FAFSA on the Web,
    2. sign your FAFSA electronically or obtain a copy of your FAFSA information;
    3. complete your federal student loan (Federal Direct and/or Perkins Loans) electronic Master Promissory Notes;
    4. make online FAFSA corrections; and
    5. review your grant and loan history on the National Student Loan Data System.

    Request a Federal PIN, request a replacement PIN, or update your PIN mailing address at the USDOE's PIN Site at: www.pin.ed.gov .
