For new record ideas, please note that WORLDWIDE BOOK OF RECORDS only recognizes WORLD RECORDS. We do not verify national / country specific achievements. 1.Measurable – Is it the fastest / longest / heaviest / most? 2.Breakable – Can the record be broken or repeated by someone else? All our record titles must be open to being challenged. 3.Standardisable – Can the record title be done universally? For example, it cannot be related to something restricted to a region. 4.Verifiable – Can the claim be proven? For example, a claim such as ‘the man who never drank water’, can never be verified unless the man spent his whole life from birth under surveillance by a witness. 5.Universal – The proposal must be something, or about something that is known to the world’s majority. It cannot be too specific / regional. 6.Substantially different from a current record – If your record suggestion is similar to something we already have, we will ask you to break the current record rather than approving a variation of the same title.

We assess each and every application that we receive – but many cannot be recognized as a world record. We do not accept applications based on subjective measures for example – beauty, kindness, loyalty. Other activities that are not records include those which are not sufficiently challenging, those which are too specific to a single person or anything that is unbreakable. We do not endorse unsuitable activities or those which could cause potential harm or danger to spectators / birds / animals. We do not permit people under the age of 18 to attempt or hold records which are considered unsuitable for minors. In these instances WORLDWIDE WORLD RECORDS works in association with the official regulatory body for the particular skill / sport. Please read more about our record policies.
