What is Official World Record?

Official World Record, the record of world records with values of the XXI century that distorts the records of the XX century

Official World Record Association was born in the 21st century in Barcelona (Europe) as a non-governmental organization whose purpose is to promote, verify, catalog and register world records.

 

We do this with the utmost rigor and seriousness possible, but at the same time helping as much as possible the applicants to achieve a record, looking for the easiest and most viable solution for its real verification.

 

This personalized treatment for each record proposal is one of the best characteristics of the association with specialized judges according to the different categories of records. Instruction judges admit and verify world record requests, prepare custom files for each record proposal, and propose rules and regulations to be followed when setting or breaking world records according to the various accepted categories. Finally, the International Acceptance Committee is the body that approves or denies the category, and the rules and regulations to establish or break the record. If all the filters are passed, the records are awarded with the corresponding certificates, trophies and medals for those who manage to establish the Official World Records

WHY OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD IS UNIQUE AMONG ALL WORLD RECORDS

Official World Record has been recognized by the Council of Notariats of the European Union (CNUE). Being the only world registry that enjoys this recognition with the notarial certification of our rigor in the way of validating and registering the records. With the certification of the apostille, approved by the Hague Convention of 1961 to certify the authenticity of the signature of the document and allow its use in foreign countries, we have this rigorous work capacity guaranteed in practically all over the world. There are currently 114 member countries to the Hague Convention, and this type of badge is not held by any other world record-keeping organization.

 

There is also no other record organization classified as an NGO, our association being the only one. And according to our statutes, this non-profit associative entity is constituted under the name Official World Record Association.

 

The entity is financed through the collection of fees for current certifications and records made by its official adjudicators. In this way, charitable and cultural records of universal interest to humanity are also financed, which otherwise would not be known or public to the general population, something that has made the organization much more recognized worldwide and increased its global prestige. and most especially among all the other local and world records of records.

 

But we also have other more very special characteristics that differentiate us from any other registry: We are recognized and registered as a trademark, with logos included by the European One of the characteristics of OWR is that we do not prioritize or are obsessed with setting many records and of low quality, or being known for making more commercial records, but we care about the moral quality and the recognition or universal knowledge of the record worldwide. And if we prioritize being the best verifying record with the utmost rigor while still having direct human personalized treatment.

 

We also attach great importance to the recognitions issued by the association, certificates, trophies and medals. This care in our products is essential to maintain the differences with the other local and world registries, and our obtained prestige.

 

This can be seen with the very high quality products in the delivery of obtaining the registration, even the paper of the certificates, trophies or medals are of a careful and glamorous inimitable style of special category to make a difference with all the others global and local records, making them distinctive pieces of extreme luxury and glamor.

 

We are the first record registry at the European level, and worldwide, a direct competitor of the other traditional reference record book due to its long history and antiquity. The difference between the two records is that Official World Record is much younger, dynamic and with a more personalized treatment, founded in the 21st century, fast and with criteria that are closer to today’s society, and the other is older, anchored in the twentieth century and with criteria that are sometimes out of date.Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) with the number 013986054.

In addition, we preserve the romantic spirit of knowledge for the sake of knowledge, not commerciality, something that other registers have abandoned to launch into extreme commercialization.

 

And one of our main values and that we love, is to make a difference to contribute to society and universal wisdom, in the end one of our main objectives. It is for this reason that our NGO is dedicated to recording records that no one else would, because they are non-profit contributions and the information and documentation helps increase the wisdom of humanity about all kinds of facts or special events in the world.

 

spectacle of the biggest wave made with Kitesurf in 2017 by Nuno Figueiredo in Nazare, Portugal, among many more.

 

We have registered many other records from around the world such as the record of penalty shootouts (inclusive) with the Sanitas Foundation (for the promotion of Health and social transformation) during the Inclusive Sports Week in Madrid. Also other important records made in America such as the largest number of apartments sold in less than 20 hours starring Jürgen Klaric, or the world’s largest poetry book written in Puerto Rico (United States) are just some of the most impressive examples. As well as medical records in South Korea and the Philippines with spectacular knee operations on very elderly patients, or others of more conventional but no less spectacular such as the largest diamond in the world or the building with the largest and tallest letter in the world located in Dubai. A variety of categories make up our database of world records, specialized in inclusive records often starring extraordinary people with some type of physical impairment.

WHY OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD IS DIFFERENT

We promote world records among non-profit organizations, NGOs, for charitable purposes, and for people with disabilities or fundamentally social problems, as a basic tool to publicize social causes, or promotion to raise funds for entities designed to provide community Services.

 

One of our most rewarding jobs is promoting inclusive world records, where no one is excluded from being able to star in a world record for having some kind of disability or mental or physical problem.

 

To make a record is to break the limits of people to achieve a desire for collective improvement of the human condition, and everyone can go further and exceed their limits.

 

Another of our objectives is the promotion of records, to increase the knowledge of unique or exclusive things in the world, promoting what each person can contribute to the rest of humanity.

 

In addition to this, also one of the purposes is to help disseminate exceptional places and events from around the world to society in general to help the dissemination of culture and collective knowledge.

 

For all these reasons and purposes to be developed, the association has been considered an NGO since its main purpose is to help achieve personal improvement and disseminate cultural facts of collective interest worldwide.
