You might need to know your Google Plus profile ID for many cases such as for setting up a Google Plus Plugin etc. My Google Plus Profile ID is 111838102710959586741 and I’ve already set up a vanity URL i.e google.com/+RamanSharma so sometimes I can also use +RamanSharma as my Google Plus ID but it doesn’t work always (for every plugin).
Finding your Google Profile ID is very easy task when you’re not requested a custom or vanity URL for your profile but might be a bit difficult after setting up a vanity URL.

First of all let me tell you how to find a Google Plus Profile ID when you haven’t set a vanity URL. Here’re the steps:
- Login to your Google Plus Account.
- Open your Google Plus Profile.
- Look for the URL bar, and it will be something like the following:
https://plus.google.com/111838102710959586741/posts
And at the place of this numeric number (111838102710959586741) you will find your Google Plus Profile ID.
So, it was the case when you haven’t set a vanity URL for your Google Profile. But, once you’re set a custom URL for your profile, you will get your custom ID at the place of your numeric ID (as mentioned below).
