How to register to bid

Prepare your bidder account and documents before registering for an Auction Specialist sale.

Registration is completed through the account or bidding platform linked on the relevant auction page. Choose the auction first, then follow its registration instructions.

Registration checklist

  • Use your own current contact details.
  • Have the identity, company, or authority documents requested for that auction ready.
  • Read the auction-specific bidder terms before accepting them.
  • Confirm the auction date, closing time, viewing arrangements, and collection window.
  • Keep your registration confirmation and bidder number available.

The live Auction Specialist registration instructions state that bidders must pay a refundable R10,000 deposit per vehicle. The applicable auction terms determine how the deposit is applied or refunded. Registration confirmation provides the payment reference and instructions for uploading FICA documents and proof of payment.

The published terms require identity verification under FICA. Keep original documents and certified copies available, as they may be required to register or collect an asset.

Requirements can differ between auctions. If the platform or listing does not answer your question, contact the registration team before bidding. Do not use banking details received from an unofficial source; confirm payment instructions directly with Auction Specialist.
