Severe Technical Bug with LinkedIn ID Verification - Cannot Contact Support

Hello Microsoft Community Team,

I am posting here because I am experiencing a catastrophic technical loop with my LinkedIn account (which is a Microsoft service), and all of LinkedIn's own support channels are completely broken.

The Problem: My LinkedIn account was restricted. When I try to verify my identity, the automated system (Persona) glitches and says the ID cannot be recognized. Worse, any help links or forms on LinkedIn's website endlessly redirect me back to a troubleshooting page—I cannot submit any support tickets at all. I tried contacting @LinkedInHelp on Twitter, but they closed the conversation without resolving the issue.

My Request: Since I am completely locked out of any way to reach LinkedIn support due to this website bug, could a Microsoft Community Manager or agent please escalate this internally to the LinkedIn Technical Escalations Team or Trust & Safety Team?

This is severely impacting my business operations. I have my valid government ID ready and can provide my registered email address as soon as an agent opens a Private Message with me here.

Thank you for your urgent help!

    LinkedIn account access, verification, and escalation are handled only by LinkedIn’s own support and internal teams. There is no documented path in the provided material for Microsoft Community moderators or Microsoft 365 support to escalate LinkedIn-specific issues, override LinkedIn’s verification (Persona), or contact LinkedIn Trust & Safety on a user’s behalf.

    From the available guidance, the only supported options for account and verification issues are to:

    1. Use the product’s own sign-in and recovery/verification flows and tools.
    2. Use the product’s own help and support entry points (including any sign-in helpers or web forms) when available.
    3. If those fail, contact support through the official “Contact Support” or “Get Help” entry points for that specific service.

    For Microsoft consumer accounts and verification issues, the documented paths are:

    • Use the sign-in helper for Microsoft accounts if sign-in is failing: Sign-in helper.
    • For verification-code or identity issues, follow the steps in the verification troubleshooting article and, if still blocked, use the “Contact Support” flow described there. Support agents cannot bypass verification, send codes, or change account details.
    • For general Microsoft account sign-in issues, use the account sign-in help and, if needed, contact support via the official support entry points.

    Because LinkedIn support and escalation processes are not described in the provided context, no additional or alternative escalation path can be offered here.
