New Delhi: Professional social networking platform LinkedIn has launched its new identity verification feature for Indian users. In a blog post in this regard, Ashutosh Gupta, Country Manager, LinkedIn India, said that through this feature, the Indian government-issued IDs of users are verified by one of LinkedIn’s verification partners. This feature has been made available for users with valid Aadhaar numbers and Indian phone numbers.

Gupta said that with this feature of LinkedIn, users will be able to verify themselves through their Aadhaar card. Even if someone does not have an Aadhaar, they will be able to verify other information using a variety of methods on LinkedIn. He further added that the platform will not have access to any sensitive data from the members’ base.

LinkedIn recently launched ID verification in the US in April. Later, this feature was announced to be launched in other countries as well. In this sequence, users in India will be verified through their Aadhaar number. Hyperverge in India is a third-party identity verification service that uses DigiLocker to handle the ID verification of government-issued IDs such as Aadhar cards with an online wallet ID verification.
