That government id thing is a joke. I get endlessly harassed to identify my identity with CLEAR, which I have no problem with in principle, but I have the practical problem that "it just doesn't work" and of course there is no helpdesk.

I can't believe at all that a verified badge would make any difference in whether or not LinkedIn users would trust this person:

Yeah, I feel so stupid for it...I wish they could erase those data of mine permanently from their system. I need to find a way to ask this.

If you are in California, you can ask.
