LinkedIn Customer FAQ

If someone created a LinkedIn account using your photo and uploaded a fake resume with your name, you can report this impersonation to LinkedIn. Navigate to the profile in question, click on the "More" button (three dots), and select "Report/Block." There, you'll find the option to report the profile for impersonation. This helps LinkedIn address the issue promptly.

If you're unable to access your account due to a name change, you may need to verify your identity. This process typically involves providing identification or additional information to LinkedIn. You can visit LinkedIn’s help center for detailed steps on verifying your identity and regaining access to your account.

If your account is restricted, it's often due to violations of LinkedIn's User Agreement or Professional Community Policies. Restrictions are typically not lifted through social support channels. You may need to follow the formal appeal process provided by LinkedIn or review the specific reasons for the restriction in any communication you received from LinkedIn.

You might be experiencing a visibility setting issue with your profile picture. Go to your settings to ensure that your profile photo visibility is set to your desired audience (public, connections, or private). Make sure you've uploaded the picture correctly and check for any technical issues on your end.

Account blocks on LinkedIn can occur due to suspected fraud, policy violations, or erroneous reporting. You've done the right thing by sending your confirmation documents. Once submitted, LinkedIn's support team will review them. If your documents are verified, they will lift the block. The timeframe for review can vary, so please be patient while they process your information.
