What Your LinkedIn URL Looks Like
Your URL follows this format:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourname
If you haven't customized it, you might see random characters:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourname-a1b2c3d4
Both work, but a clean URL without random characters looks more professional.

Common Questions
Why does my LinkedIn URL have random letters and numbers?
LinkedIn auto-generates these to ensure uniqueness. You can remove them by customizing your URL in your public profile settings.
Can I find my LinkedIn URL without logging in?
No. You need to log in to access your profile and see your URL. However, if you know your custom URL, you can access your public profile without logging in.

Your URL is permanent unless you change it. According to LinkedIn, you can modify your custom URL up to 5 times in a 6-month period.
