Today’s expansion marks the first international launch of CLEAR Verified

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, and CLEAR, the secure identity company, announced they are expanding digital safety and trust by empowering LinkedIn members in Canada to verify their identity with CLEAR for free. From the LinkedIn app, a member can affirm their identity with the CLEAR Verified (formerly known as Powered by CLEAR) platform, and add a visible indicator to their LinkedIn profile showing the member’s identity has been verified by CLEAR. Beginning this month, LinkedIn’s 22 million Canada-based members will have the option to verify their identity with CLEAR in English or French, using their government-issued ID and a selfie. Existing CLEAR users will simply be prompted to snap a selfie to verify their identity for use on their LinkedIn profile. To verify your identity with CLEAR, click here.

Today’s announcement marks the CLEAR Verified platform’s first move into an international market. Earlier this year, CLEAR and LinkedIn launched free identity verification for LinkedIn’s 206 million U.S.-based members. The partnership provides consumers and businesses with additional comfort that the people they encounter on LinkedIn are real and represented authentically.

“As LinkedIn continues to prioritize authenticity and security, these new verification options empower Canadian LinkedIn members to build a trusted professional network, ensuring a safer and more reliable experience for everyone on the platform,” said Diana Luu, LinkedIn Canada Country Manager.

“CLEAR and LinkedIn share a vision of trust and safety for our millions of users. We’re excited to expand our partnership to Canada to help more people foster genuine connections online,” said CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker. “When you verify your identity with CLEAR on LinkedIn, you’re more likely to be considered for a job, have your in-mail opened, and build connections – it’s that simple.”
