FAFSA digital signature missing - can't find where to sign the application

u dont actually sign it with like a pen or anything lol. when u submit the application with ur FSA ID that IS ur signature basically

Signing the FAFSA confused me too last year! Your FSA ID works as your electronic signature. When you created your FSA ID, you agreed to let it serve as your legal signature for FAFSA purposes. Just make sure both you and your parent (if you're a dependent) are using your own separate FSA IDs to sign in and submit the form.

Just to clarify some important details: Yes, your FSA ID serves as your electronic signature, but there IS actually a final submission page where both student and parent (for dependent students) need to check a box confirming the information is correct before submitting. Each person (student and parent) MUST have their own separate FSA ID - sharing FSA IDs is against federal regulations and can cause serious problems with your application. The submission page should show checkboxes for agreements about accuracy of information, use of data, etc. After checking those boxes, you'll see the final submit button. If you're not seeing this page, you might not actually be at the end of the application yet.

I just went through this last week!!! The WHOLE PROCESS is insane, they make everything so confusing. I thought my browser was broken because I couldn't find where to sign either lol. The FSA ID thing is your signature but also your parent needs THEIR OWN fsa id they can't use yours AT ALL. My mom tried to use mine and it locked the whole application for 3 days!! 😭

Had the same problem but with the mobile app. Turns out the FAFSA app has a different flow than the website version. On the app you have to go through EACH section (all 6 of them) and mark them complete before you get to the signature page. So annoyingggg.

I work in a college financial aid office, and this is one of our most common questions! Here's what you need to know: 1. Your FSA ID is your digital signature 2. Both student and any contributing parent MUST have separate FSA IDs 3. The system will ask you to verify info with checkboxes before final submission 4. Look for the "SIGN & SUBMIT" section in the navigation menu If you're still having trouble finding the submission page, try looking at the progress tracker at the top of the FAFSA form - you might be missing a required section that's preventing you from reaching the signature page. Also, check that you haven't skipped any required questions (they'll have red asterisks).

I had this EXACT same issue two weeks ago and couldn't get through to anyone at FSA. The phone wait times were ridiculous - it said "greater than 60 minutes" every time I called. I finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to a live agent in about 10 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ The agent walked me through the whole signature process. Turns out I had a verification flag on my account from incorrectly entering my parents' tax info, and that was hiding the signature page. Might be worth checking if something similar is happening to you.

my cousin had this problem and it turned out his application was actually incomplete even though he thought he was done! the FAFSA website is THE WORST. make sure you've actually completed everything before freaking out about the signature.

Hey did you get this resolved? I had a similar issue and realized I needed to complete the "Agreements" section first before I could sign and submit. Just checking if you were able to submit your application!
