Once you’ve added a credential to your LinkedIn profile using the original email flow, it cannot be added again via the same email link. 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:
-
Open the email you received to access your credential.
-
Click the validation page link.
-
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
-
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.
