LinkedIn New Feature: For its users in India, LinkedIn, the top professional networking site, has added a new identity verification option. One of LinkedIn’s verification partners verifies a person’s government-issued ID as part of the identity verification service.
A third-party identity verification business called HyperVerge carries out the verification in India. The verification procedure is carried out by HyperVerge using DigiLocker, a digital wallet for Indian government IDs, including Aadhaar.
Members of LinkedIn with an active Aadhaar number and an Indian phone number have access to this service. The status will appear on the member’s LinkedIn profile once it has been verified.
Due to LinkedIn’s belief that all users on the network should have access to verification, this function is offered free of charge to all Indian members who qualify.
