Prepare and Submit Approved Education Eligibility Documents
Provide recognized academic documentation to verify your student or educator status during checkout.
Adobe requires verified proof that you are currently enrolled in or employed by an accredited educational institution. Without this verification, the purchase of the Student and Teacher Edition cannot be completed.
For students, prepare a current student ID card, report card, or tuition bill. For educators, prepare a school ID card or an official pay stub from the educational institution.
Visit the Adobe Education store or their official FAQ page to ensure your specific school or district qualifies under their current documentation rules.
