What Happens After a World Record Attempt?

Completing a record attempt is an important stage, but documentation and review may still be required before an achievement can be formally documented as a verified record.

Completing the Attempt

After the activity has been completed, participants should preserve the supporting evidence collected during the attempt.

Organizing the Evidence

Evidence should be organized according to the applicable requirements. This may include photographs, videos, witness information, measurements and other supporting documents.

Submission of Evidence

The required evidence can then be submitted through the applicable record process. The documentation should be complete and clearly associated with the record attempt.

Review and Verification

The submitted evidence may be reviewed against the applicable criteria. Additional information may be requested when clarification is necessary.

Documentation of the Achievement

When an achievement satisfies the applicable requirements, it may be documented according to the record authority's procedures.

Keep Your Records

Participants should maintain copies of their submitted evidence and important communications relating to the record attempt for their own records.

You can review the Record Evidence Guidelines before preparing your documentation.
