Guinness World Records Record-Holder Recognition
Issued by Guinness World Records · GB
Achieve and document an approved world record to qualify for record-holder recognition, with digital or physical keepsakes subject to the application route.
A little more about it
Record holders must follow the approved guidelines and submit evidence for verification. Eligible standard applicants can claim a free Digital Record Breaker Badge; printed record-holder certificates are paid products. Applying or buying a document does not by itself make someone a record holder.
What this credential means
Private record-setting recognition, not a professional qualification. No guaranteed record acceptance or successful outcome is implied.
Verification means we found evidence of the offering. It does not mean we endorse it or guarantee recognition.
