How Certification Works
ONE CLEAR PATH TO MAKING YOUR ACHIEVEMENT OFFICIAL
Every Atlas World Record begins with our submission form. Whether you’ve already completed your achievement or are still planning your attempt, our adjudication team reviews your record details to determine if it is certifiable under Atlas standards.
There is no cost to submit your record details for review. Verification — defined as an initial assessment of your existing evidence — is always free.
From there, certification follows one of two paths:
COMPLETED ATTEMPTS
Our adjudicators review your submitted evidence to confirm that your record is certifiable under Atlas criteria.
ATTEMPTS IN PLANNING
You may work with our team through Atlas Navigator, a guided service that helps ensure your record is properly planned, documented, and captured from the start.
Once verification or Navigator is complete, eligible records move forward to official certification.
Certification for Individuals
Atlas offers two certification packages for individual record holders.
Certification Base Package
The Certification Base Package is the foundation of every Atlas World Record. It includes everything required to formally register, publish, and preserve your achievement.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
-
Official Atlas World Record Certificate (digital)
-
Public listing article in the Atlas Archive and Featured Records
-
Transparent Adjudicator's Statement
-
Blockchain timestamp of your record
Navigator Solo Package
Guided record design and preparation support.
The Navigator Solo Package is designed for individuals who want hands-on guidance from Atlas before they attempt their record.
If you’re still refining your record concept—or want expert support defining the title, criteria, and evidence requirements—Navigator Solo provides direct collaboration with the Atlas adjudication team to help you design your attempt correctly from the start.
This package is ideal if you want confidence that:
-
Your record title is clear, defensible, and publishable
-
Your criteria are properly scoped and measurable
-
You’re collecting the right evidence, in the right way, the first time
WHAT’S INCLUDED
With Navigator Solo, you receive everything included in the Certification Base Package, plus:
-
Record title and criteria development with Atlas
-
Guidance on what evidence to collect and how to collect it
-
Evidence-capture best practices (photo, video, logs, witnesses)
-
Risk review to avoid disqualification or rework
-
Direct advisory support during your preparation phase
-
A custom Atlas dossier prepared specifically for your record attempt, used as your working guide before and during the attempt
Navigator Solo is not required—but for many first-time or complex record attempts, it dramatically reduces uncertainty and ensures your achievement is documented correctly from day one setting you up for successful certification that can withstand the challenges of future attempts.
Optional Adjudication Services
Depending on the nature of your record, you may add optional services at checkout or later, including:
Optional Enhancements
After certification is complete, you may add optional enhancements for purchase at anytime:
Records Involving Brands, Organizations, or Events
If your record attempt involves a brand, company, organization, or large-scale public event, certification pricing is determined individually based on scope, participation, and verification requirements.
After reviewing your submission, our team will provide a clear, upfront certification proposal before any work proceeds.
Built for Transparency
Every Atlas certification is permanently logged, published, and timestamped on an independent blockchain ledger — creating a tamper-resistant, publicly verifiable record of achievement.
