At LinkedIn, we know that authenticity is key to creating meaningful interactions. The verification badge on a LinkedIn Page helps signal that the Page is an official Page of the organization. Verification helps organizations build credibility with potential customers, and helps members find the actual organizations they intended to engage with.
Verification isn’t currently available for all Pages, and we’re gradually making this feature available to more organizations.
You can check if your Page is currently eligible for verification by going to your settings in your Page admin view. If your Page is currently eligible for verification or for the verification waitlist, you’ll see the Verification controls option in your settings.
To see if your Page is currently eligible for verification:
-
Go to your Page super admin view.
-
Click Settings in the left menu.
-
Click Verification controls. If you don’t see the Verification controls option, your Page isn’t eligible for verification at this time.
If you see the Verification controls option but your Page isn’t eligible yet, you can click Ask about verifying to express interest. Joining the waitlist doesn’t guarantee that your Page will be verified.
Important to know
LinkedIn receives a high volume of verification requests daily. So, responses are provided only when your Page is verified. You will get an email notification, and the Verified badge will appear on your Page.
Learn how to request verification for your Page, if your Page is currently eligible.
Once a Page is verified, a verification badge will be displayed on the Page, and you’ll receive an email to notify you. We’re gradually making Page verification available to more organizations.
To see if your Page is currently verified, go to your Verification controls settings. Verified Pages will show Verified and a verification date in settings. If your organization doesn’t have access to Page verification at this time, you can express interest in the feature from your Page’s Verification controls settings. Joining the waitlist doesn’t guarantee that your Page will be verified.
To access your Verification controls settings:
-
Go to your Page super admin view.
-
Click Settings in the left menu.
-
Click Verification controls. If you don't see the Verification controls setting, your Page may not be eligible at this time.
LinkedIn offers verification badges both for Pages and members associated with the Pages:
- Page verification - When your Page is verified, a verification badge will be displayed next to your organization’s name on the Page.
- Verifications for members through email domains - Once a Page is verified, super admins of the Page can enable members to verify their association with the organization using a work email address. LinkedIn members can then verify their workplace or educational association using the email domains approved by that organization. Once verified, the verification will be displayed on the member’s LinkedIn profile in the About this profile section.
To remove the verification badge from your Page, you can contact us.
Multiple factors are taken into consideration when determining if a Page is verified. Factors may include, but are not limited to:
- Accuracy of certain data points on the Page (example: location, website URL)
- Active Page admin presence
- Page is claimed (not a Listing Page)
- Compliance with LinkedIn policies
Important to know
When a Page is verified, it means LinkedIn has an objective basis to believe that it's an official Page of the organization. It does not mean all information on the Page is accurate, or that LinkedIn endorses the organization or its activity.
Page verification isn’t available to all Pages at this time. If you see a Page without a verification badge, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the information on the Page is incorrect or fraudulent. It may simply mean that the Page hasn’t been verified yet by LinkedIn.
However, it’s always a good idea to conduct additional research before engaging with a Page. Some best practices include researching the organization online, visiting their official website, and reviewing their social media profiles.
