Why Your URL Might Look Different
LinkedIn URLs come in two formats:
| Format | Example | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Default | /in/jane-doe-a1b2c3 | Auto-generated for uniqueness |
| Custom | /in/janedoe | User customized |
If your URL has random characters, you can customize it by going to Edit public profile & URL in your settings.
Common Reasons You Need Your LinkedIn URL
| Reason | Where to Add It |
|---|---|
| Job application | Online form, resume header |
| Networking | Business card, email signature |
| Portfolio | Personal website, about page |
| Social media | Twitter/X bio, Instagram link |
Troubleshooting
I can't find my URL in the app
The app doesn't display the URL directly. Use the three dots menu and select "Copy link"—this copies your URL even though you don't see it written out.
My URL has strange characters
That's your default URL. LinkedIn adds random characters to ensure uniqueness. You can customize it through your public profile settings.
I don't see my profile in the address bar
Make sure you clicked "View Profile" and are actually on your profile page—not the LinkedIn feed or settings page.
Next Steps After Finding Your URL
- Copy it: Keep it handy for applications
- Customize it: Remove random characters if present
- Use it: Add to resume, signature, and cards
- Optimize your profile: Make it worth visiting
