Hello,
I’m trying to renew my Figma account, but I’m getting the message “Verification limit exceeded.”
I am a student at Cégep de Sainte-Foy in the Techniques d’intégration multimédia – Web et Apps program: https://www.csfoy.ca/programmes/tous-les-programmes/programmes-techniques/techniques-dintegration-m…

I have been using Figma for one year.
I have already sent all my documents to education@figma.com, including my student card and my schedule.

I have written to shareID and they send me this: We were unable to process your verification request. While we can't offer further details or support for this specific inquiry, please ensure all information submitted is accurate and meets the eligibility criteria for future attempts. Your ticket has now been permanently closed.
 

 

Could you please help me or tell me what I should do to unlock my account?
Thank you.

Hey ​@Jérémy Hivon — thanks for reaching out here and for sharing this context. Sorry to hear about the trouble with your verification.

While I can’t access or share specific account details, I can see that you’ve already connected with our Education Team. Your case number is: 1592294, and they’ll follow up directly at the email tied to your Figma account as soon as they’ve had a chance to review. I’ve also flagged your post here so they have the full picture.

Appreciate your patience while we work through this with you.

Dear ​@Tom Reem,

I have also tried to contact education@figma.com about the exact same situation, and have send two emails over the span of a whole month now. However, I am yet to have received any response whatsoever.

Could I kindly ask you, if possible, to check/verify whether via my email: [redacted by moderator to remove personal information] there has been any queued up case for review by the team?

That would be very helpful, because I’ve waited quite a long time to be able to access my account back.

Best regards,

Dimiter

Hi ​@Tom Reem

 

I’m experiencing a similar issue. I initially contacted Education Support around 10 days ago but haven’t received a response yet.

 

I attempted to change my email address because I was previously using the wrong one (not my student email). I also contacted SheerID after receiving a “verification exceeded” message when trying to reverify, and they confirmed that everything is correct on their end and that I appear as verified. They advised me to contact Figma directly.

 

I’ve sent both an initial email and a follow-up, but I haven’t received a reply and my account is still locked. My verification was completed through UNiDAYS, if I’m not mistaken,

 

Would you be able to check whether there is a ticket open for me and if there are any updates on my case.

 

Thank you very much in advance,

Daniel
