Your parents (if you are a dependent student) can use their FSA IDs each year, too, and can even use their FSA IDs to sign FAFSA forms for your siblings.
Should the FSA Id be the student or parent?
The FSA ID is a username and password combination you use to log in to U.S. Department of Education (ED) online systems.

Can parent electronically sign FAFSA?
To sign your child's form electronically, go to fasfa.gov, select the “I am a parent, preparer, or student from a Freely Associated State” option, enter your child's information, and select “Next.” Then, select the “Provide Signatures” button to sign and submit your signature.
Can parents fill out FAFSA for student?
A parent can get in by entering your (the student's) identifiers on the right side of the "Login" screen and never needs to use your FSA ID. When everyone is done with their parts of the FAFSA, be sure to click Submit My FAFSA Now at the bottom of the “Signature Status” page.
Do students and parents need separate FAFSA accounts?
You and each of your children need an FSA ID. Each child will need to fill out a FAFSA form with parent information. You must report the value of your education savings accounts for all children combined. Having multiple children in college can affect your children's Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
