I haven't updated my LinkedIn in around five years. Definitely not a requirement. I do keep an up-to-date CV and just pass that along. Could always try putting n/a in the field and writing a note, or finding a hiring manager or someone in HR to mail directly.
From the hiring side--I've done quite a bit--I never thought twice about whether someone had a LinkedIn or CV. I do think it's lazy not to provide anything on one's background, though. It helps me guide the conversation towards a candidate's strengths.
