Given a growing popularity of ORCID, it is only natural to devise a way to include its identifier in \(\LaTeX\) documents. Some publishers already incorporate such an option in their journals. The method I provide below has been adapted from this template. It yields a green iD icon hyperlinked to the full https URI (cf. the iD display requirements here). Feel free to use the code in your work.
Required steps
Include in the document preamble the following code that will draw the ORCID logo.
\usepackage{tikz,xcolor,hyperref}
\definecolor{lime}{HTML}{A6CE39}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\orcidicon}{
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[lime, fill=lime] (0,0)
circle [radius=0.16]
node[white] {{\fontfamily{qag}\selectfont \tiny ID}};
\draw[white, fill=white] (-0.0625,0.095)
circle [radius=0.007];
\end{tikzpicture}
\hspace{-2mm}
}
Then add
\foreach \x in {A, ..., Z}{\expandafter\xdef\csname orcid\x\endcsname{\noexpand\href{https://orcid.org/\csname orcidauthor\x\endcsname}
{\noexpand\orcidicon}}
}
Now create for each author a command that produces an image of the logo linked to the ORCID iD in the compiled pdf file. This is done by concatenating \orcidauthor and a capital letter (anything from A to Z), like so
\newcommand{\orcidauthorA}{0000-0002-6963-295X} % For author A
\newcommand{\orcidauthorB}{0000-0001-7246-8612} % For author B
\newcommand{\orcidauthorC}{0000-0002-6416-6320} % For author C
With this method, in a given paper the maximal number of authors with ORCID iD is 26, i.e. is limited by the number of letters in the English alphabet. This is more than enough for most purposes in mathematics, and extensions are not difficult either.
As a final step, to actually produce the hyperlinked iD symbols after the author names, simply insert \orcidA{}, \orcidB{}, \orcidC{} etc. at the end of the respective author information fields.

% Define the ORCID iD command for each author separately. Here done for two authors.

\begin{document}
\title{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}
% First author
\author[Author One]{Author One\orcidA{}}
% IMPORTANT: specify explicitly the running author name via the option [ ],
% otherwise the ORCID logo will be generated at every occurence of the author name in the pdf file
% at the top of the page. Clearly not what one would like to see.
% Second author
\author[Author Two]{Author Two\orcidB{}}
