‍Checklist

How to optimize

Verified LinkedIn accounts have a shielded checkmark icon next to their name. The verification is done using an automated recognition of your ID.

1. Open verification settings
2. Follow the verification instructions on the screen to complete the verification

Have all relevant documents ready: national ID, passport, and any other documents you might be able to use. This way, if one doesn’t work properly during the process, you’ll have a backup ready.

‍

The verification badge appears everywhere your name appears on LinkedIn, including when you network, when you comment and when you post.
