New World Record Registration
 
    The four basic requirements to have a record recognized are:
    1) the attempt is measurable;
    2) it can be breached;
    3) it should be verifiable;
    4) it represent a real achievement;
    5) it's legal, moral and sets a good example for others.

   If a record pass our tough verification process, it will be published on our website and included in our publicatins (printed Book of Records and/or e-books, Apps, etc).

  To register your World Record with us, copy and paste the below text into your email and fill in ALL the required info.

  You need to be at leat 18 yrs old to submit this application; if you aren't, ask your parent or legal guardian to submit the form.

   You can benefit from our fast service if you have registered well in advance your record attempt (1-3 months for personal record attempts and 3-6 months for public events and mass participation attempts), you have our written permission, forms & instructions and, after you set the record, you have submitted it according to our instructions.
   If you haven't registered in advance or you don't submit it properly, you can't benefit from our fast service.

    To register IN ADVANCE your record attempt, to receive our confirmation, our rules and our official forms, go to our 'submit a record attempt' page.

   If you don't register IN ADVANCE your event, you have very slim chances to have your record recognized by us.

   Only personal records like 'tallest dog owned' or 'largest collection of' or similar can be submitted directly; ALL public events must be registered in advance!
