How to Add a Verifiable Certificate to Your LinkedIn Profile (Step-by-Step)

Adding your achievements to LinkedIn is one of the most effective ways to build professional credibility and catch the eye of recruiters. When your certificate includes a verifiable link, it proves your skills are authentic.

Method 1: 1-Click "Add to LinkedIn" via ProofDeck (Fastest)

If your academy, employer, or bootcamp issued your credential through ProofDeck, adding it to LinkedIn takes only one click:

1. Open your certificate email or your unique certificate link.
2. Click the blue "Add to LinkedIn Profile" button.
3. A pre-filled LinkedIn modal will open automatically with your Certification Name, Issuing Organization, Issue Date, Credential ID, and Credential URL already entered.
4. Click Save. The credential is now permanently featured on your profile with the official company logo!

Method 2: Manual Addition to LinkedIn

If you prefer adding it manually from your LinkedIn profile:

1. Navigate to your LinkedIn profile and click the Add profile section button under your header.
2. Select Recommended > Add licenses & certifications.
3. Enter the exact course or award title in the Name field.
4. Type the name of the issuing company or academy in the Issuing organization field.
5. Select your issue month and year. Check "This credential does not expire" if applicable.
6. Paste your unique verification code into the Credential ID field.
7. Paste the full URL into the Credential URL field.
8. Click Save.
