Do you need a license to buy car at auction in MD?

In the state of Maryland, you do not need a special license to buy a car at auction. However, there are certain requirements you must meet in order to participate in an auto auction. These requirements vary depending on the type of auction you plan to attend.

At a wholesale auto auction, which is open to licensed car dealers only, you will need a valid dealer's license issued by the Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles (MDOT MVA). This type of auction is not open to the general public.

If you want to buy a car at a public auto auction, you must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid driver's license. You will also need to provide proof of insurance and a valid form of payment, such as cash, a money order, or a certified check. Some auction houses may also require you to register for a buyer's number before you can participate in the auction.

Before attending an auto auction in Maryland, it is a good idea to do your research and familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations. You can find information about specific auctions by visiting the websites of the auction houses or contacting them directly.
