LinkedIn has launched additional options to verify your identity and where you work as part of the verification process, which will be free for all members.
“We’re launching three new ways to verify your identity and where you work today.” “We believe that verification should be available to all LinkedIn members, which is why every feature will be available and free to all our members,” LinkedIn stated in a blog post.
LinkedIn is collaborating with CLEAR, a secure identification platform, to facilitate member verification in the United States.
Beginning this month, individuals will be able to declare on their profile that they have confirmed their identity with CLEAR, and all they need is a US government-issued ID and phone number to do so.
Verifying “where you work with your company email” is another option.
Users can now use their company-issued email addresses to authenticate where they work.
According to IANS, LinkedIn has around 50 million members worldwide and over 4,000 companies, and this is yet another option to demonstrate the validity of your profile.
The company stated that it will broaden eligibility and roll out this tool to other companies.
Furthermore, LinkedIn members can confirm where they work with Microsoft Entra.
The company is collaborating with Microsoft to enable organizations to use the Microsoft Entra Verified ID platform to issue free digital workplace IDs, allowing employees to display the verification on their LinkedIn profiles.
The tool will be live at the end of April, and the company intends to make it available to dozens of collaborating businesses, reaching over two million LinkedIn members.
