How To Get The Verification Badge on your LinkedIn Profile – Step by Step Guide

LinkedIn users can obtain a verification badge on their LinkedIn profile. This step by step guide shows you how to get the badge. The process is very simple. So simple that reading this guide will take probably longer than getting verified.

Why Get Verified On LinkedIn

What You Need In Advance:

• A current and valid Passport (99% of current Passports are NFC)
• NFC equipped smartphone (if you are using Apple Pay or Google Pay then your smartphone has NFC)
• The LinkedIn App installed on your smartphone

Another important requirement is that your name on LinkedIn must be exactly the same as shown on your passport. So a David who likes to be called Dave, and an Elizabeth who likes to be called Liz will need to change their name on LinkedIn before starting the steps below.

To get the verification badge I recommend removing emojis, punctuation, and swanky any qualifications from your name. MSc might look cool, but it’s not your name.
