Let&#8217;s delve deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key-points\"><\/span>Key points <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>LinkedIn suggests three ways to prove the account is authentic: by SMS code on signing up, submitting your state ID to un-restrict suspicious users, and voluntary validation. Only the last method gets you the visible icon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One of the ways to voluntary verify you belong to a certain company is to verify your corporate email address. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some users have access to validation via CLEAR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LinkedIn has taken a major step forward by collaborating with Microsoft to offer its users free access to digital workplace IDs. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the verification process is successfully completed, a verification icon can be seen by anyone who opens your account under the &#8220;Connect&#8221; and &#8220;Message&#8221; buttons. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-LinkedIn-identity-verification\"><\/span>What is LinkedIn identity verification?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Its main goal is to foster confidence in users when they connect for business purposes. This measure entrepreneurs, salespeople, and recruiters against deceptive practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For someone looking to restore a restricted page, community validation involves uploading certain documentation or following steps to confirm the account owner&#8217;s identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the confirmation is successfully completed, the restrictions on the profile are lifted, allowing the user to resume normal LinkedIn activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that currently, the proof process for obtaining an authentication badge through an identification document (ID) is only available for users with American or Indian IDs. However, users from any country can undergo the confirmation process to restore their profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details on the different types of authentication and their use cases, please refer to the table below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Verification type<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Use case<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>By phone number<\/td><td>Mandatory during the registration of a new profile.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>With government-issued ID (applicable for IDs from any country)<\/td><td>Mandatory in cases of community guideline violations regarding content, identity, profile, or the use of automation.

This precautionary measure is taken to combat scams and ensure a safe and reliable environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If LinkedIn requests ID proof, the process typically unfolds as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You will need to provide your ID to the support team. Capture clear photos of the document and upload them (1-2 photos). Once submitted, you will receive a prompt notification informing you that your ID is under review.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within a span of 3-5 days, you can expect a response. The validation process is usually completed within this timeframe, and various outcomes are possible. Here are some scenarios that may occur:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your document is approved, granting you full access to your profile. Unfortunately, if the support team determines that you have violated LinkedIn&#8217;s policies, your account may face permanent suspension.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In cases where the support team suspects impersonation or the use of a fake identity, immediate action may be taken to ban the respective profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Should the country indicated in your profile not align with the IP location, you might be requested to update your location to match your actual residency in order to reinstate your account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Violation of any rules can lead to serious repercussions such as permanent suspension of account, making it important for users to comply with all regulations in order to protect their accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"\n    mailpoet_form_popup_overlay\n      \"><\/div>\n  <div\n    id=\"mailpoet_form_3\"\n    class=\"\n      mailpoet_form\n      mailpoet_form_shortcode\n      mailpoet_form_position_\n      mailpoet_form_animation_\n    \"\n      >\n\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n     #mailpoet_form_3 .mailpoet_form {  }\n#mailpoet_form_3 form { margin-bottom: 0;
