Extremely Poor and Unsafe Verification Process

My experience with SheerID has been very disappointing and concerning. Someone used my email address to obtain a free trial subscription, and somehow SheerID verified this person as me.

What is especially alarming is that this verification was apparently done using fake or fraudulent documents. This raises serious questions about the reliability and security of SheerID’s identity verification process. If false documents are enough to pass verification, then the system is fundamentally flawed.

As a legitimate user, I now have to deal with the consequences of identity misuse and unauthorized use of my personal information. A verification service should prevent fraud, not enable it.

I would strongly advise companies and users to reconsider relying on SheerID, as their verification process failed in a basic and unacceptable way in my case.

Flawed and unreliable

They can't get their verification straight. For one site they validated me, for another it doesn;t work and they refuse to help.
It's unfortunate that businesses are putting customers and their private information on the hands of people that operate like amateurs.

Sheerd ID DID NOT HELP ME verify my ID…

Sheerd ID DID NOT HELP ME verify my ID when I had issues, an individual named April, Verification Support Team Lead from Sheer ID, refused to help me and dismissed my matter without reason. Disgusting and poor support

Terrible service

Terrible service. If you don't get lucky and get immediately verified, they will basically never verify you. If you mail support they will fail to respond before the discount offer expires and you will be left with nothing. I just like many others missed out on the Google AI student subscription, because this company has failed to get its sh*t together.

A privacy-nightmare

A privacy-nightmare verification company that demands photos of your government ID, passport, student cards, and personal documents, then ghosts you for weeks with canned responses (if you get one).

Countless students (hundreds of public complaints) wait months and never get verified. They aggressively track you across sites, block VPNs, and make you disable any privacy extensions just to steal your data.

Zero transparency, zero accountability, and they hold your data hostage while providing nothing in return. Feels like a data-harvesting operation masquerading as “verification.”
Already submitted GDPR/CCPA deletion requests because I no longer trust them with my ID. I still haven't heard back from their "privacy" team. Avoid at all costs.

This service is complete garbage

This service is complete garbage. It almost never works, even when following all their instructions and troubleshooting tips to the letter. I suspect that it's geared to businesses who want to appear to be offering various student/teacher or military discounts but don't want to actually give too many of them out. My experience is not just a one time glitch.

i don't give 0 stars because is impossible. I tried several times to verify my ID in Maxon but ''opss something went wrong'' no more words. and after 3 4 tries the block me out for 24 hours. with no chance to talk with support. I tried but htey need between 4 and 7 days to check the ticket. That days i need the program to advance in my University but they can't do the only thing they need to do, build a good ID checker i am pretty sure people from my Uni can do better than you.

The most important thing is that I can use Gemini.

Resolved my verification issue just right on time.

I've encountered verification issues with Google Free 1 Year Gemini AI Pro for university students, submitted all documents but still unable to verify. I reached out to SheerID support via the contact form and provided all verification documents on Nov 30th 12:08 PM MYT. SheerID support responded in time just right on the last day of the offer period on 9th December 12:55 AM MYT, resolved my issue by manually completed the approval for the offer even though it took 10 calendar days.

Scam

I can confidently say SheerID scammed Google and Google should sue them in court. It is impossible to get verified, despite going above and beyond even extremely violating your privacy and presenting the documents in many different ways. I hope Google's lawyers bankrupt this scammy company suing them into oblivion. I also hope Google gives students another chance to verify with a legitimate company.
