Re: How much it will take to get a Google Street View Trusted Photographer badge?

@SoftwareFlame You are eligible to become a Street View Trusted Photographer after you publish 50 approved 360 photos on Google Maps. After you have published 50 Maps-approved 360 photos, please make sure you have turned on the “Available for Hire” switch found in settings in the Street View App. You will then see an invitation in the Street View app to be marked as Trusted. 

 

After accepting, you’ll then receive an email: please complete the form linked in the email, and, upon verification of your published 360 photos, your information will be listed on the for-hire index within one business week and you’ll have access to the Trusted badge.

 

It’s important that your images meet our Maps publishing criteria and policies and have a minimum of 14MP otherwise they won’t be published to Maps or count towards your trusted status. (Your contributions page shows all images you submitted including those not published to Maps.)

For other users experience took 2 to 3 weeks to appear.

Make sure that you fulfill the requirements, load more than 50 approved photospheres on maps.
