My Question or Issue

 Hi

Three questions,

1. How long does it take for student verifcation?

2. How would I know when I'm verified/rejected?

3. Is there an option to pre-pay for 1 year? I'm not seeing that option anywhere(maybe it will appear after I'm verified)

Thank you and have a great day!

Hey @m33nu_rie 

It usually takes 12h-72h for SheerID (the company who checks your documents) to give you an answer, they will send you an email and tell you if you are verified or not.

Sadly, there is not an annual paying option for student's plan.

Hey @m33nu_rie,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

Spotify verifies your student status through a third-party service called SheerID. For more information, you can always check out their student support page.

You can also find more info about Premium for Students here.

SheerID will inform you via email if your request has been approved or declined and Premium for Students is currently only available as a monthly subscription.

Hope this clears things up!

How did you even send the request? I'm trying to manually verify but it shows only US colleges and dues not allow any Indian institutions.

I still don't get any response from Spotify.

Hey @user-removed,

You can fill out this form to let SheerID know that you'd like to see your institution on the list.

Thanks!
