THE MODERN
WORLD RECORD
AUTHORITY
Atlas World Records has reimagined what world record certification should be—accessible, professional, and transparently verified.
The old guard of record-keeping still operates like a dusty bureaucracy—slow, confusing, and obsessed with protecting their own outdated systems instead of celebrating human achievement. Entire categories of records just vanish into black holes of red tape. Submissions are judged only against a single, closed database. Countless dreamers, creators, and brands have walked away burned by the experience, wondering why something so joyful had to feel so punishing.
At Atlas, we believe a world record should mean more than approval from one antiquated gatekeeper. That’s why we built AtlasEngine™—an AI-powered platform that searches across dozens of global record databases and verifies your evidence with forensic precision. You achieve it. Atlas proves it—beyond doubt, worldwide.

When we certify a record, you’re not just setting our record. You’re setting the record.​​

Can world record certification help my brand or social media campaign?
Absolutely. Atlas-certified record attempts have been used by brands, influencers, and creators to power marketing campaigns, live activations, and viral social media content. A world record is more than just a title—it’s a moment that generates press coverage, engagement, and cultural impact.
How is Atlas different from other certifiers?
Atlas World Records is a future-forward alternative to other record bodies, built on three principles:
​
-
Transparent Technology – We use AI-powered research, blockchain timestamping, and Web3 tools to make certification fast, credible, and permanent.
-
Open Archives – Instead of maintaining a closed, private archive, we treat the entire searchable web as the archive, verifying your record against every properly documented achievement worldwide. Records don’t need to live in dusty books or one company’s vault—we feel that model is outdated.
-
Logical Titles – We honor the spirit of your achievement instead of forcing you into rigid or uninspired categories. Every Atlas-certified title is designed to be meaningful, authentic, and impactful.
What is AtlasEngine and how does it work?
AtlasEngine™ is our proprietary AI-powered verification platform. It scans dozens of global databases, analyzes the searchable web, and performs forensic-level reviews of your submitted evidence. By combining AI with human adjudicators, Atlas delivers a level of transparency and rigor unmatched by traditional record organizations.
Why did you create an alternative to Guinness World Records?
We’ve heard many stories from people frustrated with the “old guard” of record certification. Complaints range from poor communication and meritless rejections to entire categories of records being erased from history. We felt there could be a better, more transparent way to celebrate human achievement. Atlas World Records was created as a modern alternative—culturally relevant, professional, and open to record-setters worldwide.
