Figma Education Verification Limit Exceeded - Expired Verification Link

Figma team,

I’m currently enrolled as a student and I’m trying to renew my Figma Education status, but I’m unable to complete the verification process.

Here’s what happened:

  • My Figma Education status expired, so I started the renewal/verification process.
  • I attempted verification only twice in total — once using my personal Gmail address associated with my Figma account, and once using my official institutional Outlook email.
  • Both attempts resulted in “Verification Limit Exceeded.”
  • During the first attempt, I received a SheerID email saying that the verification link would expire on September 1, 2026.
  • However, I actually received that email on September 2, 2026, meaning the link was already expired when it reached me.
  • When I tried to open the link, I received the message: “We couldn't continue your verification. We are unable to verify you at this time.”
  • I never reached the stage where I could upload my student ID or proof of enrollment.

I have already contacted SheerID support . I have also provided screenshots of the expired verification link and the verification errors.

Since I am still an enrolled student, I would really appreciate any help from the Figma team in getting the verification limit reset or directing me to the correct way to proceed.

I’m happy to provide proof of current enrollment or student documentation if required.

Thank you!

Hi ​@prekshabapna, Celyn from the Figma Community Support team here. Thanks for reaching out and sharing these details as well as the screenshot.

Could you confirm whether you contacted SheerID at figmasupport@sheerid.com? This is a dedicated support channel for Figma users. Since SheerID manages the verification process, their team is best equipped to investigate verification limit issues.

Hi Celyn,

Thank you for getting back to me.

Yes, I have already contacted SheerID Support regarding this issue. I have provided them with the relevant details and screenshots . I have also opened Figma Support ticket #2107357.

I just wanted to clarify something because I’m quite concerned about my situation.

Is this type of verification-limit issue something that can be resolved, or is there a possibility that I may permanently lose access to my Figma Education plan?

I am currently enrolled as a student and am eligible for the Education plan. If SheerID is able to reset my verification limit and I successfully complete the verification, will my Education status and editing access be restored on my account?

At the moment, I’m worried because I’m unable to verify my student status, and both my team and I are currently locked out of our files. I don’t know whether I will actually be able to regain access, so I would really appreciate some clarity on what I should expect.

Thank you for your help and patience.

Best,
Preksha
