After you’ve selected the New Trend Member level (Basic or Premier) that fits your needs, the next step is to provide certain required documentation. These documents are often required by state and federal authorities and help keep all dealings legal and ethical. You can scan and upload these documents during your registration or come back and do so later in the user portal. We need to receive your documents BEFORE you can start bidding and buying vehicles. Once we have your documents, we should have them processed in 1 business day.
We need to
make sure everybody who uses New Trend is who they claim to be. So New Trend requires everyone
to scan a government-issued photo ID, like a Driver’s License, Passport, or Permanent
Resident Card.
You can scan your identification through our secure and confidential License Scanner.
States and
Provinces all have different laws about who can bid and buy cars at online auction. For
your convenience, New Trend provides our State Licensing Overview page to provide general
guidelines of what is required where you live and/or where your business operates.
If you are an automotive business, you’ll need to use the secure License Uploader to
submit your business and relevant state license.
If you are a private citizen in a state or province that requires a specific license,
New Trend can help you locate a trusted Broker with the required licensure to assist you in
acquiring a bidding. Brokers can help you through the entire process of bidding, buying,
and delivering your vehicle. They’ll make sure all the proper paperwork is taken care of
so you can enjoy your new vehicle.
You can still bid on vehicles on New Trend as long as you have a government-issued ID on file. But if you don’t have a business license and/or the required licenses for your location, you can use either or both of the following options.
