What is an electronic tour guide pass? How to apply for renewal of electronic tour guide certificate?

Have you started preparing for the tour guide exam recently? The results of the tour guide exam have been released before. No matter what your results are, don't give up. Friends who are admitted go to a travel agency, and those who are not admitted continue to work hard! Today the editor will let you know about the electronic tour guide certificate!

What is an electronic tour guide certificate?

Prior to this, tour guides had to hold two certificates: one was to obtain a tour guide qualification certificate through a qualification examination, generally called a qualification certificate; After obtaining the tour guide qualification certificate, you can apply for a tour guide IC card, generally called a tour guide certificate, by calling a travel agency or local tour guide industry organization or tour guide association.

The "National Tour Guide Public Service Supervision Platform" launched in March 2017 means that all tour guides nationwide will start applying for new tour guide certification from now on. On October 31, 2017, the original IC card tourist guide certificate will cease to be used and the new version of "electronic tour guide certificate" will be used!

The new version of the "electronic tour guide certificate" is stored in the form of electronic data in the tour guide's mobile phone and other mobile terminal devices, which is basically the same as the previous tour guide certificate IC card. Its external appearance is a "tour guide ID" card made with unified specifications, which facilitates law enforcement inspection and tourist identification.

How to apply for renewal of electronic tour guide certificate

Step one: Apply for a tour guide.

Mobile phone: The tour guide downloads the "National Tour Guide Home" APP (supports Android and Apple versions, and can be downloaded from all major application markets) to apply for an electronic tour guide certificate.

PC: You can log in to the website (), enter the "Tour Guide Portal", and apply for an electronic tour guide certificate online.

After entering the above platform, there are four main steps to apply for an electronic tour guide certificate:

1. Register with your mobile phone number.

2. Check the tour guide’s qualifications.

3. Upload relevant information.

4. Submit for review

Step 2: Verify the information by travel agencies and tour guide service companies. After a tour guide applies for an electronic tour guide certificate, the travel agency or local tour guide association that has signed a labor contract with the tour guide will verify and confirm the tour guide's information and report it to the local tourism bureau for review.

Step 3: The Tourism Bureau reviews the information. The local tourism bureau will review the tour guide information reported by travel agencies and tour guide associations. After passing the review, the "tour guide certificate" card will be printed and issued. At the same time, tour guides can obtain electronic tour guide certificates on the APP, which are stored in the form of electronic data in mobile devices such as mobile phones of tour guides.

What are the requirements for applying for an electronic tour guide certificate?

To apply for an electronic tour guide certificate, you need to sign a labor contract with a travel agency or register (i.e. affiliated) with a tour guide industry organization or tour guide association, and then submit application materials to the local tourism authorities before you can apply for an electronic tour guide certificate. (To put it simply, after you get the qualification certificate, you need to find a travel agency or local tour guide association to apply for an electronic tour guide certificate.)

Okay, do you understand? If you want to get this tour guide certificate, remember this information and prepare yourself for the exam.

Hope everyone is successful!
