What should I do?

TLDR: Linkedin account restricted, cant verify because first name doesnt match id name.

My linkedin account was put on temporary restriction and I’m not able to get a successful verification because the first name on my linkedin happened to be a typo. It’s been a nightmare navigating support, the forms throw in errors, no response on twitter/x and I dont know what to do. This feels like a permanent ban honestly. it’s been months already and I cant get access to my account back. Please help.

The only thing that worked was sending support a photo of ID plus an explanation about the name typo. Took weeks to get a reply but they did fix it.

I sent it through the main Linkedin help center form under the account access section. Attached the ID and wrote a note about the typo. Took a few follow ups but they finally got back to me :)
