# Verification

Some FAFSA®s are selected for a process called verification. If your FAFSA® has been selected for verification, you are not alone. An estimated 30% of FAFSA® filers are selected for the verification process. In this process, schools collect documentation from applicants to check the accuracy of FAFSA® information. If chosen for verification, documents will be requested through the Financial Aid Portal, which can be accessed through [Howdy](https://howdy.tamu.edu/). Please do not submit any documents to our office that are not specifically requested.\
