I’m trying to verify my student account via my ID. But it always says verification failed. And the reason they provide is it couldn’t find my last name in my ID card. Now let me clarify. My full name is “Sifatullah”. that’s it. Nothing before and after. And my ID says the name: “[redacted by moderator to remove personal information]”. Now, I tried the following combinations while filling up the Education verification form of Figma:

[redacted by moderator to remove personal information]

And both of these fail! So what else do I do? 
And now it even shows “Verification limit exceeded”. Please help. I need it for my upcoming project show.

Hi ​@Sifatullah — thank you for your patience! I’ve been keeping an eye on this topic and I checked in with the Figma for Education team. I have an important update for you:

Your account has been reset, and you can now go through the application process again. When you reapply, here’s what to do:

  1. In the Last Name field, enter: No Last Name
  2. Complete the rest of the application as usual.

With this adjustment, SheerID will be able to review your application correctly.

Hope this gets you unblocked. Let us know if anything else comes up.

Hi ​@Sifatullah — welcome to the Figma Forum! I’m sorry to hear about the trouble with your student ID card. I’ve flagged this to the Figma for Education team, though the verification process itself is managed by SheerID.

If you’re still running into issues, the first step is to reach out to SheerID directly using this secure form: Contact SheerID Support. Their team can review your case and reset verification attempts so you can move forward.

To protect your privacy, I also removed personal details from your post. As a reminder, account-specific info shouldn’t be shared publicly here in the forum.

And just to reassure you — we’ve extended the grace period for verification, so you’ll still be able to work and access your files. For more details, see the update here: Updates to our Figma Education plan.
