How do I verify my LinkedIn account and what are the benefits?

LinkedIn verification increases profile views by up to 60%, improves message response rates, and elevates your personal brand's credibility. The process is relatively quick, requiring your mobile device and passport for identity verification. First, locate the verification option on your profile or homepage, then follow the guided steps that include scanning your passport, verifying the NFC chip, and completing facial recognition checks by looking straight, left, and right. The verification badge appears almost immediately after successful completion, distinguishing your profile as authentic.
