Tips

• "Fast Track" gets your application reviewed in 3 working days, but costs 300 British pounds, or nearly 500 American dollars. Avoid to use this option! Otherwise it can even happen that the Guinness people tell you "we are not interested in your record proposal (but thank you for the money anyway)".
  Thanks!
