Verifying your LinkedIn account helps enhance credibility, especially if you're using the platform for professional networking, job seeking, or building your personal brand. LinkedIn offers a verification process that confirms your identity, which can be especially useful in preventing impersonation and gaining trust among connections. To begin the verification process, you can use either a desktop browser or the LinkedIn mobile app. The steps are identical across platforms. First, log into your account at [https://www.linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com). After logging in, click on your profile picture or user icon in the top-right corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, navigate to 'Settings & Privacy' by clicking the gear icon. Within the settings menu, go to the 'Account Preferences' tab. Here, you'll find the 'Get Verified' option. Selecting this will launch the LinkedIn identity verification process. You’ll be asked to scan a QR code using the camera app on your phone. If you're already using a mobile device, you can take a screenshot of the QR code and then open the LinkedIn app to scan it from your gallery or directly from your screen. Once scanned, the app will guide you through the on-screen prompts to complete your verification. If the app is not installed on your phone, you’ll be prompted to download it first. The process typically includes verifying your government-issued ID and may involve facial recognition or selfie confirmation. LinkedIn uses third-party identity verification services, such as CLEAR or Persona, depending on your region. Your information is handled securely and is not displayed publicly on your profile, but verified status may be shown as a badge or noted for internal trust signals. Verifying your account does not guarantee any premium benefits but it significantly boosts your authenticity, especially when engaging with recruiters or other professionals.
