**Verify Your LinkedIn Profile 2025** Boost your credibility on LinkedIn by verifying your profile. Verification adds a badge showing others you are who you say you are. Here is how to do it as of May 2025: **Main Verification Types:** 1. **Identity Verification:** This confirms your legal identity using government issued documents. * **Requirements:** You typically need the LinkedIn mobile app and a supported government ID. For many countries outside North America, this involves using a service called Persona. You will need an NFC enabled passport, meaning it has a chip, and an NFC capable smartphone. For the US, Canada, and Mexico, LinkedIn uses a service called CLEAR, which may require a photo of your ID like a drivers license or passport and a selfie. * **Process:** Start from your LinkedIn profile, often under the 'About this profile' section or a 'Get Verified' prompt. Follow the steps. For Persona, this means using the app to photograph your passport page, scan its NFC chip, and take a live selfie. For CLEAR, follow their specific instructions after being redirected. Your profile name must match your ID name. LinkedIn does not store your ID image or biometric data directly. 2. **Workplace Verification:** This confirms you work at the company listed on your profile. * **Work Email:** If your company participates, you can verify using your work email address. Go to the verification section on your profile, enter your work email, receive a code sent to that email, and enter the code on LinkedIn within about 15 minutes. This needs renewal usually every year. * **Microsoft Entra:** If your organization uses Microsoft Entra Verified ID, you might be able to verify through your company's login system by following prompts on LinkedIn. **How to Start:** Log in to LinkedIn. Go to your profile page. Look for a 'Get verified' button or link under your name, in the 'Resources' section, or within the 'About this profile' area. Select the type of verification you want identity or workplace and follow the specific instructions. Verification is free and helps build trust within the professional network. #LinkedInVerification #ProfileTips #BuildTrust
