How we verify guides
A real person on our team checks every guide's documents by hand. Each profile shows exactly which checks passed, nothing more.
-
The guide sends their documents Tourism licence with its number, a government photo ID, an intro video and, if they have one, a police certificate.
-
Our team checks each one by hand We compare names, numbers and photos. If anything doesn't match or can't be read, we ask the guide to send it again.
-
Badges appear only for what passed A guide still in review simply shows fewer badges. We never add a badge for a check that didn't happen.
-
Badges come off if things change If a document turns out to be wrong, or travellers report a problem, we remove the badge or take the profile down.
