The Simple Steps to Follow


  1. Find the Verification Button: You can find the verification button by viewing your profile, and it's often visible on your homepage feed as well.

  2. Click "Verify Now": Once you've located the verification button, click on it to initiate the verification process.

  3. Mobile Verification: Another way to start the process is by going to a profile and selecting "More" > "About this profile" > "Get verified."

  4. Follow the Instructions: After clicking "Verify Now," follow the on-screen instructions to verify your LinkedIn profile using your mobile device.

  5. Accept Terms and Conditions: The first few screens will involve accepting the terms and conditions, so be sure to review them before proceeding.

  6. Choose Your Country: Select your country from the options provided and click "Continue."

  7. Upload Your Passport: You'll need to provide a clear photo of your passport. Ensure good lighting and clarity for a successful upload.

  8. Verify Details: LinkedIn will extract your details from the passport photo. Double-check the accuracy, and if needed, retake the photo.

  9. NFC Chip Verification: Hold your phone near the NFC chip (usually located under the word "passport" on your passport). Ensure successful reading.

  10. Identity Verification: Follow the on-screen prompts to verify your identity by looking straight into the camera, then to the left, and finally to the right. Your phone will provide feedback.

  11. Submit Your Verification: Once all steps are completed successfully, confirm your submission.


The Results

After successfully completing the verification process, you'll see a LinkedIn verification tick under "About this profile" on your LinkedIn profile and next to your LinkedIn tag line. You can also see how and when you were verified.
