You’ll need to submit a school-issued document, such as:
- School ID card with an expiration date
- Class schedule
- Tuition receipt
- Certificate of enrollment
This document must show:
- First and last name
- School name
- Date(s) of enrollment that confirm current student status
Feel free to cover up any sensitive information that’s unrelated to proving your eligibility. If you want to know more about how SheerID processes your personal data go to SheerID Privacy Policy

I’m getting an error during the submission process — what can I do?

My code isn’t working
There could be a few reasons why it’s not working. Check out our article about common promo code issues to figure out what’s going on
I forgot to add my student promo code on an order I placed
Unfortunately, codes can’t be retroactively used for an order that you’ve already placed. Keep it safe and use it another time.
I used a student code but my order was canceled or refunded
Unfortunately promo codes are non refundable unless otherwise provided. That said, if your order was canceled by the seller, your promo code will be reactivated. Just reach out to us via the conversation in your Back Market "Orders page" and selecting the "Get help" button next to your order.
