LinkedIn username checker
Check the name used after linkedin.com/in/ in a personal profile URL. A result does not reserve the URL; confirm that you can use it in LinkedIn’s profile settings.
Supported Platforms (317)
Choose a platform to check a username only there. A single-platform check costs 1.
Why Use Our LinkedIn Username Checker
Compare URL options for your professional profile. This checker looks up personal profiles, not LinkedIn company pages.
Personal profile lookup
Check a name for a LinkedIn personal profile URL. A check can take time or return an unknown result.
How searches are handled
Checks use our service to query supported platforms. Signed-in search history is saved to your account; guest history stays in this browser.
Understanding the result
The result reflects the response at the time of the check. An apparently available URL is not a guarantee that LinkedIn will let you claim it.
Enter the profile URL name
Enter the part after linkedin.com/in/, for example janesmith. This is different from the name displayed on a profile.
Personal Search History
Review previous checks and compare names for your LinkedIn profile URL in your search history.
How to check a LinkedIn profile URL
Enter a profile URL name
Enter the part after linkedin.com/in/, such as janesmith. Do not enter a job title or company page address.
Run the check
Start the check and wait for the result. You do not need to enter your LinkedIn password.
Confirm on LinkedIn
Review the available, taken or unknown status. Before using a new URL, confirm and save it in your LinkedIn profile settings.

Frequently Asked Questions about LinkedIn
Does an available result mean I can claim the LinkedIn URL?
No. The result reflects the response at the time of the check and may be unknown or change later. LinkedIn decides whether a custom URL can be used when you save it in your profile settings.
Why can a LinkedIn URL be unavailable when no profile is visible?
A missing public profile does not prove that its URL can be claimed. LinkedIn can keep a previous custom URL associated with a member. Check availability in LinkedIn’s own settings.
Does this tool notify the user currently holding the LinkedIn handle?
ToolsBatch does not send a notification to the current LinkedIn account holder when you run a check. Platform behavior outside ToolsBatch may differ.
What does a LinkedIn profile check cost?
Each check costs 1 from your balance. Registered users receive 100 every 30 days.
Is a LinkedIn username the same as a profile name?
Here, username means the custom part of a personal profile URL after linkedin.com/in/. It is different from the name displayed on the profile. You can manage the URL in LinkedIn’s public profile settings.
