Customizing Your Public Profile URL

Edit your public profile URL

Promote your public profile and allow others to easily identify you in search results by changing or customizing your public profile URL.

Customize your URL

You can customize your public profile URL when you change what appears on your public profile. Custom public profile URLs are available on a first come, first served basis. Members can only have one custom public profile URL at a time.

To change your public profile URL:

Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
Click View profile.
On your profile page, click Edit your public profile in the right rail.

Update your public profile settings will show up if you don't have a public profile. Learn how to enable your public profile visibility.

Under the section Edit public profile URL in the right rail, click the Edit icon next to your public profile URL.

It'll be an address that looks like www.linkedin.com/in/yourname.

Type the last part of your new custom URL in the text box.
Click Save.

Notes:

Your custom URL can have 5-30 letters or numbers. Don't use spaces, symbols, or special characters.
We recommend using a variation of your name and/or your professional brand since you'll share this URL with people so they can find your LinkedIn profile. Some job applications may also ask you for your LinkedIn profile URL.
The customizable part of the URL is case insensitive. This means using JohnSmith, johnsmith, or johnSmith will all point to the same profile.
If the URL you want isn't available, please select a different one. We can't make custom URLs available to members upon request.
You can change your URL up to five times within six months. Once you have changed your URL for the fifth time, you won't be able to change it for another six months. Changing your URL several times may make it hard for people to find you.
If a member uses a URL and then changes it, that URL will be unavailable for use by other members for six months.
If you navigate to a previously claimed URL, you may see a page that reads Profile Not Found.
Additional language profiles have the same URL, but LinkedIn will add a language field at the end. For example, "fr" would be added at the end of the URL for a member's French profile.
