Out-of-Auctioneer

Out-of-State Auctioneer License Package

An “out-of-state auctioneer license” is issued to an individual who resides outside the State of North Carolina and who is not eligible to receive a reciprocal auctioneer license.  The applicant must take the Auctioneer examinations.  To be eligible to sit for an examination, an individual must either have held a North Carolina apprentice auctioneer license for the preceding two years and accumulated sufficient knowledge and experience in the auctioneer profession or have successfully completed at least 80 hours of classroom instruction at a Board approved auctioneer school. To be scheduled for a State auctioneer examination, an individual must provide the Board’s office a completed application package. Upon successful completion of the auctioneer examination, the application is provided to the Board at the next regularly scheduled monthly meeting for consideration of licensure.

Documentation of required auctioneer schooling or auctioneer experience, as follows: (i) Applicants who base their application upon their completion of a school of auctioneering with its curriculum and instructors approved by the Board as set forth in 21 NCAC 04B .0500 shall submit a final transcript. If the applicant has completed this school more than the five years preceding the date of his or her application, the applicant shall submit documentation of the applicant's lawful participation in auctions within the two years preceding the date of application. The above-referenced participation in auctions is defined as "Auctioneering" as set forth in G.S. 85B-1(8).
