Understanding FSID
What is FSID?
FSID is your Functional Student Identifier — a permanent education identity anchored to your verified Fayda digital identity.

Anchored to Fayda
Identity is verified through Fayda before an FSID is created or retrieved, supporting one person → one student ID.

Education continuity
A stable identifier helps education systems connect records for exams, placement, and lifelong learning pathways.
