Verification Exceeded Limit for Student Plan

I am a student and we have a free student plan from our school. I am trying to verify my student plan but it says that I have exceeded the verification limit or I have already activated it. Although the role on my profile is set to Education > Student but when I join on Edu Teams, it wants me to verify my status and I can’t verify it because it won’t let me. I have already contacted SheerID but they take way too long on responding.

    Hi everyone — thanks for checking in here, and I’m really sorry for the trouble this has caused.

    In addition, we’ve been working closely with SheerID based on the feedback in this thread, and they now have an improved process in place to help with “Verification Limit Exceeded” errors.

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

    Thanks again to everyone who raised this — your feedback directly helps shape these improvements. Hopefully this makes the process smoother for students going forward.

    they answered me: 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.

     

    i don’t understand how they can’t verifiction the request if ​@Tom Reem said they can: “ reach out to SheerID directly through this secure form: Contact SheerID Support………” 

    help!!! Thanks

    Hello, I am having this same issue. I contacted SheerID and they told me to retry verification, however the Figma verification webpage still does not allow me to do so. I am hoping to receive any assistance, thank you in advance!

    Hello,

    I am having the same problem as many other people and am concerned I won’t be able to re-verify my account despite the extension of the deadline.

     

    In my case I tried to verify with my student ID but I think it did not include all the necessary information and that’s why my verification was not accepted. However, Figma did not allow me to re-try with a different document.

     

    First it said there was a network error after I filled the form, and after a few attempts I got the “Verification limit exceeded” notification. 

     

    I reached out to SheerID but it doesn’t seem like they will reply on time. Is there a way I can re-try uploading a different document?

     

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I’m having an exact same problem as many people here. I haven’t receive an answer from SheerID yet, it says it might take from 3-6 days. I’m concerned about about loosing the access to my account and files…

    Thanks for help!

    Hi all - I understand the concern on retaining your student verification (or awaiting approval).

    SheerID is working hard on verifying and troubleshooting, but due to high volume, this may take some time. We acknowledge that this may not be ideal, but as highlighted in the top post of this topic, Figma has extended a grace period for students in the process of reverifying their education status.

    You will not lose access to your account or files at this time. This should give you more time to get in touch with SheerID.

    I do acknowledge that this may still be distressing, but please know we are doing the best that we can to get everyone situated.

    We appreciate your continued patience and understanding.

    I have tried verifying 20+ times, I have contacted SheerID and they said the image of my student ID and my class schedule wasn’t “Clear” I have tried uploading images of it as clear as possible. 

    I have run out of verification limit, The only prerequisite of being a student is College mail and college ID SheerID cant even verify that. education@figma.com was of no help either. Said that only sheerID can help. I reached out to sheerID and they informed me of the issue but won’t let me verify again. 

    I need Figma for my UX class and I will fail if I'm unable to get access.

    I think you guys just killed Figma Education. SheerID doesn’t fix anything, when I last contacted them, they told me they couldn’t verify or reset anything because all the requests were still open. The frustrating part is that I activated my student discounts/accounts on other websites through SheerID with my student email, and everything worked perfectly fine without any errors.

    After contacted sheer id staff, I replied back and forth with them to reset limits. After that, the verification process has been changed - no longer requesting my gov id images but only require the school email. I mean, if they could have identified my status only with school e-mail, what on earth they multiple time requested my government issued id scans, which collects my address, photo, facial info, and birthday…? This was first time to be asked that only happened with Figma. Cursor, VSC Copilot, YT- I only needed to provide my school id and active school email. Duh. 

     

    Anyway - best shot that I can advise is contacting sheer id staff to reset your limit along with your school email and point of contact from Figma. I finally made my verification completed...gees.
