Before adding you certificate to your shopping cart, you will be asked to review and approve the wording of your certificate.
Please do not continue to the checkout stage unless you are sure that the wording of the certificate is correct as changes are not possible once your order has been submitted.
Guinness World Records has a standard format that we use when creating text for Certificates.
We do not make amendments to Certificate texts unless there is a clear error with the Record Holder Certificate text such as a misprint or a misspelling.
When previewing the artwork for the certificate, you should ensure you are happy with the text layout before proceeding to checkout, if you want this amended please contact us for a layout change.
You cannot change the layout after purchasing your certificate, so this would have to be sent as a separate request and charged an additional product fee.
We are in the process of adding a new feature that gives customers the ability to change the layout on their certificate text through the use of new line breaks. Stay tuned!
If you hold multiple Record Titles, these will be available in a dropdown list on the product page and you can select a title for each Certificate and add it to the cart, repeating the process for each individual title.
Quantities can be revised later in the shopping cart itself before checkout.
You’ll find all the Records that you have successfully achieved on the dropdown list on the Record Holder Certificate page.
If you can’t find your Record Title on this list, try logging into your main Guinness World Records account to check the application status of your Record Title. If it hasn’t been approved yet, it won’t be on the list.
If you have any questions about the status of your application, please send us a message using the online correspondence tool at the bottom of your application summary page in your Guinness World Records account. You can access this tool by logging into your account and clicking on the record title on your dashboard page.
The Certificate database is maintained by Guinness World Records.

1. The record has been approved (you can check the status of your Record Attempt in the “Applications” section here under your account).
2. You have signed in using the registered e-mail address associated with the Record.
If you have checked both these things and you still can’t see your Record, please contact us.
