Achieving a record is a remarkable milestone, one that reflects dedication, discipline, and a spirit of excellence. Whether you are pursuing a record personally, on behalf of your child, or supporting someone in their extraordinary journey, we, at India Book of Records (IBR), are honoured to be part of your story.
Our team is committed to making the verification and recognition process as seamless and transparent as possible. To help us serve you better, here is a comprehensive guide on how you can contribute to make application filing, record verification and record promotion processes a smooth and efficient experience.
1. Complete Your Application with Care
Your application is the foundation of your record journey, and accuracy sets the tone for everything that follows. Please ensure all fields are filled in completely and correctly, with particular attention to:
– Your full name and personal details
– Active contact information, including phone number and email address
– The record category and a clear description of your attempt
– All required supporting documents and evidence
Incomplete or inaccurate information often leads to delays and additional correspondence. A thorough review of your application before submission is a small investment of time that can make a significant difference later.
2. Stay Responsive to Our Verification Team
Once your application is received, our Evidence Verification Team begins a careful and detailed review of all submitted documents. During this process, a team member will reach out to you via phone or email to:
– Seek clarification on specific aspects of your attempt
– Request supplementary evidence
– Confirm key details of your submission
– Provide guidance on any outstanding requirements
Timely responses are genuinely valuable to the process. We encourage you to monitor your email inbox, including your spam or junk folder, and be available on the phone after submitting your application. Prompt communication ensures your application moves forward without unnecessary delays and brings you one step closer to official recognition.
3. Record Your Attempt According to Our Video Guidelines
Video evidence is central to our verification process. A well-recorded submission allows our evaluators to assess your achievement accurately and efficiently. Please observe the following standards when capturing your attempt:
Maintain HD Video Quality
Your footage should be sharp, well-lit, and clearly legible throughout. Blurry or low-resolution videos may be difficult to evaluate. It could also lead you to resubmit your evidence.
Record in Horizontal (Landscape) Format
When using a mobile device, always record in landscape orientation. This is particularly important because approved record footage will broadcast on national news channels, where horizontal formatting is the broadcast standard.
Submit Separate Videos for Each Activity
If your record attempt comprises multiple segments or activities, please submit each as an individual video file rather than combining them into a single recording. This allows our team to evaluate each activity thoroughly and without confusion.
4. Special Guidance for Children's and Toddlers' Applications
We take great pride in celebrating the records of young achievers, and we warmly welcome applications that showcase the diverse talents of children. To ensure these applications are evaluated efficiently, please follow these additional steps:
1. Provide a Detailed Activity List
Prepare a Word document listing all activities included in your submission. A clearly organised list, such as Memory Skills, Drawing, Recitation, Dance Performance, or Mathematical Ability, gives our team a complete overview and enables a systematic review.
2. Use Descriptive File Names
Please rename each video or document to reflect its content clearly. Rather than leaving files with default camera names such as Video001.mp4 or IMG1234.jpg, use descriptive titles such as:
– Drawing Activity.mp4
– Memory Skills Performance.mp4
– Dance Activity.mp4
Well-labelled files eliminate confusion and allow our evaluators to review each activity with precision and ease.
5. Include Witness Letters and Required Certifications
Certain record categories require independent verification to confirm the authenticity of the record attempt. Where applicable, a properly completed witness letter must accompany your submission. Depending on the nature of your record, a certification or endorsement from a Gazetted Officer may also be required.
These documents are an important part of maintaining the credibility and integrity of the India Book of Records. Please review the specific requirements for your record category carefully and ensure all necessary documentation is included with your initial submission.
Celebrating Your Achievement: The Certificate Photograph
The recognition does not end with verification. It is just the beginning. Once your record is officially established, IBR actively promotes your achievement across our website, social media platforms, publications, and other communication channels.
To feature your achievement professionally, we require a high-quality photograph of you with your India Book of Records Certificate Kit. While capturing this moment, please follow these guidelines:
– Choose a plain, clean background- a light-coloured backdrop is preferred.
– Open the Certificate Kit fully and arrange all contents so they are clearly visible.
– Wear the medal included in your kit.
– Pose proudly alongside the complete display.
A well-composed photograph allows us to present your achievement in the best possible light. Submitting it promptly ensures your record is published across our platforms without delay.
A Final Word
Every record holder brings something unique and extraordinary to the world. By submitting a complete, well-organised application and remaining responsive throughout the verification process, you make it possible for our team to dedicate their full attention to honouring your achievement.
We are genuinely excited to receive your application and to welcome you into the growing family of achievers of India Book of Records. Your journey is extraordinary, and we look forward to celebrating it with you.
Best of luck! We are rooting for you.
