Submitting a World Record

So you want to submit something you did to the Guinness World Records corporation.  Good luck.

Before I start: Here's a really handy resource on the official Guinness website.

The first thing you'll need to do is contact Guinness before you break the record you're trying for. Contacting them afterward will net you several issues; for one thing, if you came up with the record, they may not accept it. It could all be a waste of time. For another thing, they need proof that you broke the record; when you call them ahead of time, they tell you what form of proof to give them. If you come up with your own method to prove it, they may not accept it.

After that, you'll just need to send this proof to them. They can be reached at:

• Guinness World Records Limited

  London NW1 3HP
  United Kingdom
  
  OR:
• Guinness World Records North America, Inc.
