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.

Hi, I am Sabbir, a user of the Figma Education plan.

I have all the documents as a student for the re-verification of my Figma education plan. But it shows that the verification limit exceeded.
I hope I'll get the proper solution and verify my Figma Educational Status.
Thanks.

Hello,

 

I need to verify my educator account. I've been trying for 9 days, but I haven't been able to get any results. Even though I uploaded official documents proving that I am an educator, I haven't gotten any results so far. Now it says, "Verification Limit Exceeded." I have only 1 day left for verification. I think there is something wrong with the verification of SheerID as I’ve seen a lot of people suffering from not getting verified. I’m really not sure what else to do—any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m reaching out because I encountered the same issue as others regarding the ID verification process. I contacted SheerID and received a response stating that in order to proceed with the verification request, ID verification must be completed within the platform. Therefore, they mentioned that the ID must be verified directly through Figma.

Unfortunately, they also informed me that they are no longer able to assist and have permanently closed the support ticket.

Could you please let me know where or how I can resolve this issue? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

I have already contacted SheerID Support multiple times, and like others here, I received the same response without any clear solution.
My ticket was permanently closed, and they explained that the government ID verification must be completed successfully within the platform.
Since my ID check could not be processed there, they said they cannot review my ID via email or provide any workaround.
Today is the expiration date of my Education Plan, so this matter is very urgent.
Could you please provide a concrete solution or restore my ability to complete the verification process before my plan expires?
