Self-transfer lets eligible Max and Pro customers move their subscription to a different email address themselves, without changing or deleting either account.

Important Notice

Changing your subscription email will create a completely new account. Your original data remains accessible in your original account when signing in with the old email address.

  • All threads, collections, and settings will remain in the old account permanently

  • You’ll need to sign in with the new email address to access the subscription

  • Data cannot be transferred between the two accounts

  • Your original account and all its data remain intact and accessible with your original email

What self-transfer does

  • Moves the subscription from one account to another by updating the email address tied to the subscription.

  • Leaves the original account itself intact (login, data, and settings stay as they are) and simply removes the subscription access from that account.

  • Activates the subscription on the new email/account once the transfer is completed.

Who can use self-transfer

  • Available to consumer Max and Pro customers on standard web-based plans.

  • Not available for Enterprise plans, which are managed directly with your organization’s account team.

  • Only subscriptions purchased on the web (via our website) are eligible; app store subscriptions (Apple/iOS App Store or Android/Google Play) cannot be transferred.

Plans that are not eligible

  • Discounted Education Pro subscriptions are not eligible for self-transfer because the SheerID verification record is permanently linked to the original account.

  • Enterprise subscriptions are ineligible for self-transfer and must be handled through your organization’s administrator or account representative.

  • Subscriptions billed through Apple/iOS or Android/Google Play are ineligible; ownership and billing for these is controlled by the app store provider.

  • Promotion-based subscriptions, including offers through partners such as Airtel or Revolut, are not eligible for self-transfer.
