How to Change your Username on LinkedIn
Follow this interactive demo to learn how to change your username on LinkedIn.
📌 Why this matters
Your updated resume needs visibility where recruiters actively search for candidates. Your LinkedIn username creates your custom profile URL, which becomes your professional web address that you can share on business cards, resumes, and email signatures. A clean, memorable username like linkedin.com/in/yourname looks far more professional than the random string of numbers LinkedIn assigns by default. Beyond appearances, recruiters and potential clients often search for you directly by typing your name into the URL bar, so having a predictable web address makes you easier to find and remember.
