Introduction

Your loan servicer is the company that handles the billing and other services for your student loan. If you have a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan, the loan servicer is selected when you consolidation your loans. If you have questions about your loan account or need to contact your loan servicer, you’ll need your account number.

What is a student loan account number?

Your student loan account number is a unique identifier that is assigned to your specific loan. This number helps your lender keep track of your loan and can be used to identify you as the borrower. You will need to provide your student loan account number when you contact your lender about your loan, make payments, or apply for deferment or forbearance.

Why is it important to know your student loan account number?

If you have a student loan, you have what’s called an account number. This is a unique set of numbers and/or letters that is assigned to your specific loan. Your account number is important because it:

-Helps you keep track of your repayment progress
-Helps your loan servicer identify your account
-Is necessary if you want to apply for repayment plans or forbearance/deferment
-Is needed to consolidate your loans

If you don’t know your account number, don’t worry – there are a few ways to find it. Check out the sections below for more information.

Check your credit report

The first place to look for your student loan account number is your credit report. You are entitled to one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit reporting agencies. If you have checked your report recently, you may be able to access it online. If not, you can order a copy by mail or by phone.

When you receive your credit report, look for a section that lists your current loans and their account numbers. If you have more than one student loan, this will help you identify which loan is which. If you don’t see any information about your student loans, it’s possible that they are not reported to the credit agencies. In this case, you will need to contact your lender directly to get your account number.

Contact your loan servicer

To find your student loan account number, you’ll need to contact your loan servicer. Your loan servicer is the company that handles the billing and other services for your student loan.

If you’re not sure who your loan servicer is, you can log in to “My Federal Student Aid” on the StudentLoans.gov website to get contact information for your servicer. Or, you can look at recent correspondence from your servicer, which should include the company’s name and contact information.

Once you’ve reached out to your loan servicer, they should be able to provide you with your account number.

Look through old paperwork

If you’ve ever had a student loan, you should be able to find your account number on any paperwork or correspondence from your lender. This could include:
-Your welcome packet or loan agreement
-Your monthly statement
-An email from your lender
-A letter from your lender

If you can’t find any old paperwork, don’t worry. There are other ways to get your account number.
