How Police Request Data from LinkedIn
Police and government officials send lawful requests to LinkedIn through its law-enforcement portal. The details below are taken from LinkedIn's own published guidelines.
Ministry of Cyber Affairs is not LinkedIn and cannot create or reset portal accounts, pass on requests or release data. Contact LinkedIn directly. Is this your company? Request a correction.

Check before you send
- LinkedIn's law-enforcement guidelines were last updated about two years ago. Confirm the contact before relying on it.
Emergency requests
LinkedIn will consider an emergency request using the Emergency Disclosure Request Form, which must be signed under penalty of perjury by a law enforcement agent.
What LinkedIn says about legal process
- Legal process. Requests must be made through formal US legal procedures such as subpoenas, court orders and search warrants; messages, invitations and connections can only be disclosed under a valid search warrant from an entity with proper jurisdiction.
- Requests from other countries. Requests from non-US authorities generally must go through an official MLAT or letter rogatory.
- Notifying the user. LinkedIn notifies members of requests for their data unless prohibited by statute or court order.
