Add a badge to LinkedIn in four steps

  1. Open your badge's verification page — your credential email links to its public verification page, where the one-click LinkedIn button lives.
  2. Click "Add to LinkedIn" — LinkedIn opens its "Add licenses & certifications" form with the credential's details prefilled.
  3. Review the prefilled details — the credential name, issuing organization, issue date, and verification link are filled in automatically; adjust if you like.
  4. Save it to your profile — the credential appears in the Licenses & certifications section, with a link anyone can follow to verify it.

Tips for showcasing your badge

  • Use the Add to LinkedIn button rather than typing the credential in manually — it fills the fields and the verification link for you.
  • The credential URL points to your public verification page, so connections can confirm the badge is genuine.
  • Prefer email? Every credential also includes a copy-paste HTML snippet for your email signature.
  • Your email address is never shown on the public page — only your display name appears.

Issuing the badges yourself?

Every credential you issue with GrokCred automatically includes the Add to LinkedIn button on its verification page — no setup required. When recipients share, the badge links back to your organization, turning each learner into a referral.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a LinkedIn account to receive a badge?

No. You can view, verify, download, and share any GrokCred credential without a LinkedIn account. Adding it to LinkedIn is optional and only takes a click if you choose to.

Will the badge link back to a verifiable page?

Yes. The credential you add to LinkedIn links to its public GrokCred verification page, so anyone viewing your profile can confirm the badge is real.

Does adding a badge cost anything for the recipient?

No. Receiving a credential and adding it to LinkedIn is always free for recipients — no account and no payment required.

Can issuers see when a badge is shared?

Issuers can see aggregate engagement — such as how many recipients clicked Add to LinkedIn — but never private details about an individual recipient's LinkedIn activity.
