Hi ​@함윤정 — thanks for checking in here, and I’m sorry for the trouble you’ve run into. I wanted to share an update: We’ve been collaborating closely with SheerID based on the feedback in this thread, and they now have an improved process to handle verification limit errors like the one you’ve reported.

If you haven’t already, please reach out to them directly and let them know what’s happening using this secure form: Contact SheerID Support. Their team is now better equipped to review your case and provide next steps.

Thanks again to you (and others in this thread) for surfacing the issue — your feedback helped us improve the process, and we hope this makes things smoother moving forward.

Hey there, thank you for reaching out! 

The “Verification Limit Exceeded” error you’re seeing comes from our partner SheerID, who fully manages the student verification process. Since you’ve already contacted their support team, the best next step is to wait for their response, they’ll be able to review your case and help resolve this error.

In the meantime, if you receive an update from SheerID that doesn’t solve the problem, let me know and I’ll be happy to look into it further with you.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime!

Hello,
I also have the same problem as Anton. I’ve been verified by SheerID, but I can’t log into my account because it says it’s not configured. When I tried to create a new account, it says my verification limit has been exceeded. I hope this issue can be resolved as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Hi I'm having the exactly same issue. I also emailed SheerID 7 days ago. They didn't replied yet.

Hello Figma Community,

I’m a student from [Your College Name] and I was using the Figma Education Plan. Recently, I was asked to re-verify my student status.

Unfortunately, my college server is not well-maintained, so SheerID could not verify me automatically. I tried uploading different documents (tuition fee receipt, class routine, etc.), but after several attempts, I now see the message: “Verification Limit Exceeded.”

Now I cannot submit any new documents or re-apply. I still have valid student status, but I don’t know how to continue the verification process.

👉 Can someone from the Figma team or community guide me on how I can:

  1. Reset my verification attempts, or

  2. Submit an official letter from my college confirming my enrollment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Thank you,
Sumon Sharma

Dear Figma Support Team,

I am writing to you today because I'm experiencing a significant issue with my student verification for Figma for Education. I have a school-issued email address and have attempted to verify my student status about 13 times. I have submitted all possible documents, including my student ID, national ID, and enrollment certificate, but unfortunately, all my attempts have failed.

I have since been blocked from retrying, as the system shows an "exceeded attempt limit" message, and this has been the case for over two days. I previously reached out to SheerID for assistance, but I have not received a response.

I am a student who critically needs Figma for my coursework this semester. Could you please assist by resetting my verification attempts so I can resubmit the correct documents?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Anton Blomgren

Hi, 

My teams are already in Education plan. I have permission to edit. I went through the verification process and SheerID sent details regarding this if you need them to assist me, so why does this window still tell me that I need to verify my status? Should I just ignore it? Because I literally cannot re verify again. Please let me know what you need from me because this should definitely not be this difficult.

Hello!

 

I tried re verification for FIGMA student, but it was showing network error even though network was good, and continuously trying it was still showing the same error.

 

Then it started showing Verification limit exceeded.

 

So I contacted sheerID via mail, they responded with:

 

We were unable to process your verification request. And Your ticket has now been permanently closed.

 

I mail them again and again still got no solution...

 

If it's possible i would like to verify my account again. I can provide a document from my school if nesesery.

 

Last mounth i have verified my spotify account with sheerid and it worked normaly.

 

Please provide the solution for this issue otherwise I won't be able to re verify student plan.
