However, you still have a couple of easy options to add it to LinkedIn again—whether you’re using a new profile or your old account was deleted. ### **Option 1: Add the Credential Manually (Recommended)** You can manually add your credential to LinkedIn using the information available on the credential’s validation page. **Where to find the required details:** 1. Open the email you received to access your credential. 2. Click the **validation page link**. 3. From the validation page (as highlighted in the image below), copy the following details and paste them into LinkedIn’s **“Licenses & Certifications”** section: - - Name of the credential - Issuing organisation - Issue date (and expiration date, if applicable) - Credential ID - Credential / validation URL ![](https://help.virtualbadge.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-09-2026-10-28-00-4603-AM.png?width=370&height=255&name=image-png-Feb-09-2026-10-28-00-4603-AM.png)![](https://help.virtualbadge.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-09-2026-10-18-54-7993-AM.png?width=330&height=253&name=image-png-Feb-09-2026-10-18-54-7993-AM.png) ### **If You No Longer Have Access to the Email** If you can’t access the original email, please reach out to the organisation that issued the credential. They can provide you with the required details listed above so you can add the credential manually on LinkedIn. ### **Option 2: Contact Support** Alternatively, you can contact our support team. We can help **reset your access** so you’re able to retrieve the credential details again. - [Onboarding & Setup](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/onboarding-setup?hsLang=en) - [Features](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/features?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing Credentials](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/features?hsLang=en#managing-credentials) - [Recipient Management](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/features?hsLang=en#recipient-management) - [Email Delivery & Customization](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/features?hsLang=en#email-delivery-customization) - [Sharing & Social Integrations](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/features?hsLang=en#sharing-social-integrations) - [Security & Verification](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/features?hsLang=en#security-verification) - [Insights & Reporting](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/features?hsLang=en#insights-reporting) - [Credential Design](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/credential-design?hsLang=en) - [Access & Share Credentials](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/access-share-credentials?hsLang=en) - [Trainer Module](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/trainer-module?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Trainer module settings](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/trainer-module?hsLang=en#trainer-module-settings) - [Creating a Training](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/trainer-module?hsLang=en#creating-a-training) - [Recipients in the Trainer Module](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/trainer-module?hsLang=en#recipients-in-the-trainer-module) - [Integrations & API](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/integrations-api?hsLang=en) - [Account & Billing](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/account-billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Billing](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/account-billing?hsLang=en#billing) - [Organisation Settings](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/account-billing?hsLang=en#organisation-settings) - [User Settings](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/account-billing?hsLang=en#user-settings) - [Element Library](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/account-billing?hsLang=en#element-library) - [Organisation Hub](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/organisation-hub?hsLang=en) - [FAQs](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Credential Management](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/faqs?hsLang=en#credential-management) - [Trainer Module](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/faqs?hsLang=en#trainer-module) - [Email & Delivery Issues](https://help.virtualbadge.io/article/faqs?hsLang=en#email-delivery-issues) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.virtualbadge.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Virtualbadge.io%20Dark%20(2).png?width=181&height=24&name=Virtualbadge.io%20Dark%20(2).png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.virtualbadge.io/) Virtualbadge.io Help Center Copyright © 2026, FutureNext GmbH
