LinkedIn and CLEAR are teaming up to enhance safety for Canadian members.<\/p>\n
Users can now verify their identity for free using CLEAR’s platform directly from the LinkedIn app. Verified members will display a CLEAR indicator on their profiles. This feature is available in English and French, requiring a government ID and selfie for verification. Existing CLEAR users just need to take a selfie for LinkedIn verification.<\/p>\n
The verification process is designed to help LinkedIn build a more trusted community of professionals in Canada. By verifying their identity, LinkedIn members can help ensure that their profiles are accurate and that they are who they say they are.<\/p>\n
The government ID verification program is part of LinkedIn’s ongoing commitment to authenticity and security. The company has also implemented a number of other measures to protect its users, such as profile verification and spam prevention.<\/p>\n
“We believe that authenticity is essential to building a trusted community of professionals,” said LinkedIn Canada Country Manager Diana Luu. “The government ID verification program is a key step in our efforts to make LinkedIn a safer and more reliable platform for everyone.”<\/p>\n
