How to Verify your LinkedIn Profile with a Nigerian Passport..

What You Need In Advance:

A current and valid Passport (99% of current Passports are NFC enabled includingNigerian Passport)

NFC equipped smartphone (if you are using Apple Pay or Google Pay then your smartphone has NFC)

The LinkedIn App installed on your smartphone

Another important requirement is that your name on LinkedIn must be exactly the same as shown on your passport.
1) Go to your LinkedIn profile on your mobile app, next to your name, click “Verify now”

2) Have your passport ready then click on “Verify with Persona"

3) Accept the terms of use and continue

4) Select your country and continue

5) Take a live picture of your ID or upload a picture of it (That is the first “thick” page of your passport that has your picture)

6) Review the prefilled details and Continue

7) Scan the NFC chip (this is where many people get stuck) I believe some phones cannot scan an NFC chip. However, many phones can, you just need to enable it under settings if it isn’t already

- Confirm that NFC is enabled on your device (You can google to confirm that your phone works. Most iPhones do)
- Remove your phone pouch/case as this might cause some interference.
- Look for the nfc tag on the front or back of your passport cover (image shown)
- Click on scan, then place your phone-with the back camera touching this chip — on your passport. As it shows scanning with one or more (green) scan dots, continue to move your camera a little around the chip till all the scanning dots are completed. Then is shows Successful
- If you keep getting errors, first confirm that the steps above were adhered to, then restart your phone and try again.

8) Take a live picture of yourself, follow the prompts

9) Proceed to agree to share the required details with Linkedln

congratulations! Now you have the verification check mark next to your name.

Did you use to 2 devices? I mean is it thesame phone you used to upload your passport that you used to scan? I got stocked when i got to the scanning part. Cos I'm using one device

Do you need to open your phone camera when it's time to scan?
