Begin the AMCAS application and receive an AAMC ID.

Visit the AMCAS page at https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/amcas/ and click on "Instruction Manual" and also set a link to "Frequently Asked Questions."

To register with the AAMC, go to The AMCAS Welcome Page and click on “2017 AMCAS Sign In.”  Once you are on the sign-in page, look below the username and password fields and click on “Register here.”  At this point you will be asked to establish a user name and password for your AMCAS account.  AMCAS no longer requires you to enter your social security number (SSN) or social insurance number (SIN) during registration. The AAMC registration process is the same for all applicants including international students. It is not necessary to call the AAMC for a Proxy ID number if you choose not to enter an SSN or SIN number. You may bypass the SSN/SIN fields on the registration page and continue on to “Section One: Identifying Information” to obtain your AAMC ID.

Complete the "Identifying Information" section in order to receive an AAMC ID. In the "Identifying Information" section, please list your Brown Banner ID number under "Other." EIP students should list the student ID number that appears on your school's official transcripts.
