How to Hide Certificate on LinkedIn

Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove certificate visibility from your LinkedIn profile.

Quick summary

You can hide certificates on LinkedIn by adjusting your public profile visibility settings in just a few steps. Toggling off the relevant section removes your certifications from public view immediately.


Steps

  1. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of LinkedIn.
  2. Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown menu.
  3. Choose Visibility in the left-hand menu.
  4. Select Edit your public profile.
  5. Toggle Public visibility off or deselect Articles & Activity to hide your certifications from public view.
  6. A confirmation notification will appear and the changes will apply immediately.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling what appears on your LinkedIn public profile is essential for privacy and personal branding. The ability to hide certificates lets users manage how recruiters, colleagues, and the public perceive their professional background. This feature is especially useful when credentials are outdated, irrelevant to a current role, or simply not something a user wants highlighted. LinkedIn's built-in visibility settings give professionals granular control over their profile without removing the underlying data.
