I have tried many times to verify my student account but  each time it says “We're unable to verify you using the information submitted. Please check your information for accuracy, and only use your own mobile device or computer”

anything else i can provide to verify my status?

Hi ​@Cherif Mahdi — welcome to Figma Forum, and thanks for flagging this. Sorry to hear you’re running into trouble with verification.

To help point you in the right direction, could you confirm what type of educational institution you’re associated with? The verification process differs depending on whether it’s a high school, higher education institution, or an online course. This overview may be helpful in the meantime: Figma for Education → Verify your education status.

In many cases, verification is handled end-to-end by SheerID, and they’re often best equipped to resolve document or eligibility issues directly. If you haven’t already, you can reach them here: Contact SheerID support team.

If you still need help after that, I can see you already have a case open with our Education Team (case: 1693791). I’ve flagged this post with them so they have the full context as they follow up. Please keep an eye on the email inbox tied to your Figma account for next steps.

I have the exact same issue. I have contacted SheerID and I have a reference number, but when contacting Figma I get no response. What to do?
