How LinkedIn custom URLs work
Your LinkedIn public profile URL can be customized. A clean linkedin.com/in/your-name link is easier to share on resumes and email signatures.
Custom URLs are 3 to 100 characters
LinkedIn custom profile URLs must be between 3 and 100 characters long.
Only letters, numbers, and hyphens
Spaces, underscores, periods, and other symbols are not allowed. URLs are case-insensitive.
No "linkedin" in the URL
LinkedIn does not allow the word LinkedIn inside your custom URL slug.
You can change it a limited number of times
LinkedIn limits how often you can change a custom URL, so check availability before you save one.
