A LinkedIn account after a death

LinkedIn can memorialize a profile or close the account of a deceased member; both go through a report form, with a faster route for authorized representatives.

Your options

  • Memorialize the profile (visible but locked)
  • Close the account (removal of the profile)

What you will need

  • Member's name, profile URL and relationship to you
  • For closure: death certificate and proof of legal authority

The official process

Platforms change their procedures regularly; always start from the official page:

Record your own wishes in advance

In Emberalis you set per account whether it should be memorialized, deleted, transferred or kept, and your emergency contacts get that list, together with this guide, when it matters.
