FAQ - What if my parent(s) do not have a social security number?

Parents who don't have a Social Security Number (SSN) are able to create a StudentAid.gov account to access and complete their portion of your FAFSA form. You will select the box that indicates the individual does not have an SSN. Do not enter a Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) in the SSN field. Individuals without an SSN will be asked to provide an ITIN, in a separate ITIN field in their section of the FAFSA form. If your parent does not have an ITIN, they should leave the ITIN question blank.
