Names allowed on profiles

Last updated: 2 years ago
The name fields of your profile name may only include the first, middle, and last names of your real or preferred professional name, plus your preferred pronouns. When registering on our site, LinkedIn does not allow members to use pseudonyms, fake names, business names, associations, groups, email addresses, or special characters that do not reflect your real or preferred professional name. For more information, see the LinkedIn User Agreement.
Although you can't create a profile with your organization's name, you can share information about your organization when you create a LinkedIn Page.
