IRWR — an independent registry with global reach
IRWR documents and verifies extraordinary achievement submitted through GBR. We've built a review network spanning dozens of countries to keep the process fast and credible.
Every accepted claim is checked against the same evidentiary standard — witnesses, measurement, and a documented trail — before it reaches the public archive.
Our Goals
- Set a consistent, transparent evidentiary standard
- Expand the independent reviewer network
- Build partnerships with national record bodies
- Keep the public archive free and searchable
- Support record holders through the full process
