Complete your Page verification process

Last updated: 1 month ago

After your initial Page verification request is successful and approved, you will be prompted to complete the Page verification process. You will see the Complete Page verification message in one or all of the following places in your super admin view: 

  • Below your Page name

  • Admin top card

  • Verification controls in the Settings page 

To complete your Page verification process:

  1. Go to your Page super admin view.

  2. Click Settings in the left menu.

  3. Click Verification controls.

  4. Click Complete verification.

  5. In the Confirm domain ownership dialog, select the company that was used to purchase your domain and click Continue.

    Here's a tip

    Include all domains that your employees are likely to use for workplace verification.

  6. Create a new TXT record for your domain to show that you control that domain. 

    While creating a TXT record, you might encounter one of the following errors:

    • Incorrect code: To rectify this error, use the exact code generated by LinkedIn, which starts with: linkedin-site-verification= followed by letters and numbers. Copy the entire code (including the prefix) into your DNS TXT record.
    • Check the status: Your domain provider usually updates DNS within 24 hours and you can access this information publicly. Check if your code is live by clicking here and entering your domain. The code must be published within 5 days of your request for it to be processed.
    • Unknown error: If you don’t see the code after publishing, either the DNS step was not done correctly or the request was never submitted. Restart the domain verification process from the beginning.

  7. You can click the instructions for your specific domain provider for more information. If you need help with this process, ask your organization’s tech team or contact your domain provider for support. 

  8. After you create the TXT record through your domain provider, click  Continue. 

  9. Review your TXT record, then click Submit request. 

Results

After you submit your request, and if the verification process completes successfully, you will see a confirmation message stating that your Page is verified. Your Page will also receive a verification badge that will be visible to all members on LinkedIn. Verification is a reflection of trust and authenticity, and LinkedIn reserves the right to revoke badges if potential misuse or risk is detected.

If patterns of abuse are noticed on your Page, such as suspicious activity associated with the domain, we reserve the right to revoke your verification badge.

Important to know

LinkedIn receives a lot of verification requests daily. As a result, it could take up to ten days for the verification process to complete. In such cases, you will see a message confirming that your request was received, and that we will notify you when your verification request is processed. If your verification request was denied, you can go to the Verification controls page from the Settings page, and raise a case to receive support.
