Summarize:

Enter the date you broke the record and the city, county, and country you broke it in. Add a detailed description of how and where you broke the record, and choose from the drop-down menu what your purpose for breaking the record was. Depending on your record, you may be prompted to enter in a measurement. For example, if you broke the record for owning the largest doll collection, you’d need to enter how many dolls you own into the measurement field. You’ll be prompted to select standard or priority on the “choose an application option” page that comes up after you submit your application. A standard application is free and has a processing time of up to 12 weeks, meaning you could wait 12 weeks before you hear back from anyone. A priority application costs $800 USD (£500) and has a processing time of 5 working days. Click on the yellow “proceed” button below the option you’re interested in. If you submitted a standard application, you should hear back about your record within 12 weeks. If you submitted the priority application, you should hear back within 5 working days. If your application is accepted, you’ll receive an email prompting you to download the “Guidelines and Evidence Requirements” from your Guinness World Records profile. Submit all of your evidence online through your Guinness World Records profile. The “Guidelines and Evidence Requirements” you downloaded on your profile will specifically lay out what you need to submit. Different types of records require different forms of evidence, but all record attempts require:   A cover letter: You’ll have to fill out the Guinness World Records cover letter form, explaining what record you broke and how you broke it.   Two witness statements: You must have two people, not related to you in any way, witness your record attempt. They each have to sign a witness statement and submit it with your evidence.   A schedule 2 form: By signing the schedule 2 form, you agree to release to Guinness World Records all of the evidence you’re submitting for your record attempt. If your evidence is approved and your attempt at breaking a record is deemed a success, you’ll officially be a Guinness World Records record holder! As a record-holder, you will receive an official certificate from Guinness World Records featuring your name and the record you broke.
Fill out the application for the record you’ve chosen. Submit your application as standard or priority. Wait for Guinness World Records to review your application. Submit the necessary evidence to prove you broke a record. Wait to hear if your record attempt is approved.
