Hello @ASMN

I realise that this is your first post here on connect so welcome to our official forum for local guides all around the world. Here is A Welcome-to-Connect-Card for you. A happy 2024 to you as well. Hope you will enjoy your time here. You might like to officially introduce yourself and meet other local guides,please feel free to do so :point_right:t3: Here on this the introduction thread.Thank you.

That said the local guides program and the SVTP has been splited into 2 separate programs for a couple of years now. It use to be that they were linked together. The official platform was also discontinued here as well for those who have the badge. There is a help page but it’s only accessible to those of us who have the badge from former times.

UPDATE (July 19, 2021): As of July 19, 2021, new enrollments into the Street View trusted program are put on hold. At this time, we do not award the trusted badge to new contributors who’ve reached the minimum number of photos for membership, and do not list new professionals on the for-hire index. This is an extract from the announcement made some years ago. To read the full article** :point_right:t3: here is the link,please read it.**That also explains in details why you can’t get the badge anymore even after meeting the requirements which was addition of 50 streetview photos.

Hope this answers your question. Nevertheless you can continue as a local guide and contribute positively to improve other areas of Google maps.

Happy guiding

Cheers
