So my LinkedIn mobile app probably has an issue with my VPN so they want to see some papers please before I can use their app. Fine, it's your service and I need to use it to influence my peers. So anyway they want ID, I give them my current student ID which has a nice picture, a sticker with the present semester and year, matching name to account, a barcode UUID, and legit looking layout. That is rejected as invalid form of identification! I can't access my LinkedIn.
