How to Get Official Google Guide Identity Card From Google Map ?
Urgently Required id Card For more area And Palce add on map .
Hi Bhavin 
There is no official Google Guide ID card issued by Google for Local Guides, even if you’re a Level 7 or higher. Google appreciates your contributions like reviews, photos, and edits on Maps — but currently, they don’t provide any physical or digital ID card for Local Guides.
If Google ever launches something like that officially, they will announce it on the Local Guides Connect forum or via official emails.
Always beware of unofficial sources or anyone claiming to provide such ID cards — they are not recognized by Google.
In your Google Maps profile it shows that you are Google Maps Local Guide.
It’s a voluntary program, through this we can help the people’s and businesses by our contribution like add places, photos, correcting information etc.
Keep contributing and exploring! Your efforts are what truly make a difference. 
Let me know if you need help with anything else related to Maps or Local Guides!

Regarding your question, Google does not issue physical ID cards for Local Guides.
You can use your profile page in the Maps app as a sort of ID.
Physical cards can and will be misused and Google have no control over how they are used. I doubt very much they will ever issue ID cards to volunteers.
This is the best question on the forum.
The common answers ignore the reality on the street. I’ve been stopped by people and police because, let’s be honest, we look like the FBI taking photos of a business or creeps in a park.
This isn’t about wanting a title, since they’re superficial anyway. It’s about the fundamental need to feel safe and be able to contribute without causing public alarm.
We’ll likely never get official merch, so debating it is a waste of time.
@bhavin_patel2020 — if helpful, here’s the practical system that works for me:
I built a “uniform” that signals my intent. The goal isn’t to look official, it’s to look purposeful.
- The Look — A photographer’s vest and a Tilley hat from Amazon.
- The Tool — A DJI Osmo stabilizer to show you’re serious.
- The Budget Option — Even an old broken, camera slung around your neck works
- The Explanation —If asked what I’m doing, I state the simple truth: “I’m a contributor for the Google Maps Local Guides Program.” The official-sounding name is professional, accurate, and is almost always enough to satisfy curiosity.
- The Pro-Tip — I’m considering a few “next level” ideas to have ready: creating a simple business card with my name and “Photographer,” making a QR code that links to my Maps profile, or setting up a dedicated Instagram account as a quick portfolio.
The point is: the gear instantly reframes you from a potential threat into a photographer at work.
It solves the problem before it even begins.

Just show your Maps profile page.
If you want business owners to be able to see your Maps profile on their devices you can use the solution described here.
I’m a fan of the QR code, but let’s be clear about its use case: it’s a tool for a one-on-one with a business owner.
For the general public, digital proofs fail on three counts: (i) The profile is too slow to load when on the spot + videos look blurry; (ii) The Local Guides profile itself isn’t a credential, it’s a participation trophy. It’s too common and the barrier-to-entry is too low for it to have any actual authority; (iii) It’s impractical to show your phone to every patron in the crowd or plaza.
The real solution is to manage perception before a question is ever asked. Dress the part. It’s a proactive uniform, not a reactive excuse.
I make sure to always include the term “Volunteer” in my one sentence presentation when asked to avoid anyone misunderstanding that I’m representing Google.
“I’m one of the volunteers sharing photos on Google Maps” is my go-to phrase.
Eh… to each their own.
In my experience, adding “volunteer” dilutes the impact and sounds like an apology.
Own the contribution, no need for qualifiers. A statement like “I take photos for Google Maps” or am “a part of the Local Guides Program” is direct enough most of the time and needs no further qualification.
I can’t manage others’ misinterpretation of factually correct statements and publicly available information.
