              EXPERT ADVICE TO HELP YOU BREAK A RECORD
How to be a record breaker
Sometimes it is okay to break things as long as it is a Guinness World Record! But before you start on your quest to be a record breaker, read this simple how to guide.
 From the fastest and the tallest to the heaviest and the smallest, Guinness World Records has been collecting the coolest facts about the world’s most amazing record breakers!
We’ve spent nearly 50 years investigating remarkable people, breathtaking buildings, amazing animals and fantastic places and when we award our official Guinness World Records certificate, it’s proof that you and l not see anything quite as impressive anywhere else in the world.
Be the best!
All of our record breakers are the ultimate in one way or another, the richest, the largest, the bravest, and the oldest. But even you! Yes, you can be a record breaker.
To make the application process simple, we’ve chosen some top record ideas that you can try at home or at school. These records can be found on the Break a Record pages.
If you want to break a different record or set a new one, then you need to follow these important steps:
1. Before attempting any record, we need to decide if your suggestion is suitable and safe. So the first you should do is contact us. The easiest way is by using the record application form on the Guinness World Records web site.
2. Tell us your idea. Give us as much information as you can, including what the record is, when you want to attempt it, where you will be doing it, and so on.
a) If it is an existing record, we’ll tell you what the current record is, what guidelines must be followed and what evidence you need to send us
b) If it is a new record that no one has set yet, we need to check it out to make sure it meets our requirements. If it does, we will write official rules and guidelines specific to that record idea to make sure all attempts are made in the same way. Find out more about what kind of records we like.
3. Whether it is a new or existing record, we will then send you the guidelines for your particular record. Once you receive these, you can attempt your record at any time. You do not need a Guinness World Record official at your attempt. But you do need to gather evidence. Find out more about the kind of evidence we need.
4. If you think you’ve set or broken a record, send us all the evidence as specified in the guidelines. You can do this by post, or electronically by email.
5. We then investigate your claim fully a process that can take up to 10 weeks, depending on the number of claims in the system, and how complex your record is.
6. If you’re successful, we’ll send you an official certificate that says you’re now a Guinness World Record holder.
Please note that a certificate does not guarantee you a place in the Guinness World Records book. Each year, the editor compiles the book from the best and most relevant records for that year, and not every new record is included
What evidence do I need?
It is not that we don’t trust you? If you think you’ve broken a record, you need to send us a package of evidence to support your claim
Each and every record claim must be accompanied by detailed documentation, such as eyewitness statements, video footage, and logbooks.
Witnesses: Two independent witness statements are the minimum requirement, and your witnesses should be people of standing in the community, such as:
1. Doctors
2. Lawyers
3. Judges
4. Notaries public
5. Clergy
6. Elected officials
7. Postmasters
8. Educational or medical professionals
9. Fire and rescue officers
10. Law enforcement officers
11. Officials from a sporting body
Experts: Certain records may also require the judgment of a technical expert, such as surveyor or a public health official.
Neither witness can be related to you. Witnesses should not only be able to confirm that they have seen the successful progress and completion of the record attempt, but also that the guidelines have been followed.
Guinness World Records is unable to supply personnel to invigilate attempts, but reserves the right to do so.
Video evidence: A requirement for all record challenges is a clearly labelled VHS video tape or digital video on CD-ROM
