no. You need to request the pin and use it to electronically sign it. It takes about 2 weeks to get it. If you can't wait that long then you need to fill out the fafsa and mail it in with your documents. The pin that you get you will use for the rest of your college career though so keep it in a safe place or memorize it. I still remember mine.

yes you can. I just did mines yesterday and although I had a pin my mother didnt, when your filling out the fafsa online, in the beginning after you fill in your basic info, they will have a drop down where you can decide to sign electronically or print the signature page. if you want to fill out the fafsa without a pin, go ahead and print the signature page and you sign it and if your parents have too sign too then they can sign it too. but having a pin is alot easier but it takes like a week for everything for the pin to go thru. go to the fafsa website, they help you step by step there as well. if you want a pin, here are the websites.
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ for the fafsa online
www.pin.ed.gov for your pin
PS. trust me you dont need to mail in paper work or documents if you file online, just the signature page. and you might want to print out the fafsa for your records, oh, and when i applied for my pin they GAVE me a pin, a four digit number, and after you fill out for a pin they email it to you in like three days. if you dont have an email they mail it to you in 7 days. its all on the website too. good luck

It depends. You can fill out a paper fafsa and not need a PIN but if you do an E-fafsa, then you would need one.

You must have a PIN to do it online. However, if you do it by mail you wouldn't need a PIN. I would suggest requesting a PIN, or if you have one but have forgotten it, you can receive it by email. Try to pick a PIN that will be easy to remember. Its a much faster process if you have a PIN.

No you must have a pin number-it doesn't take long to get it in the mail.
