Is an auctioneer that is a member of the National Auctioneer Association exempt from a state auctioneer's license?

Being a member of the National Auctioneer Association does not automatically exempt an auctioneer from needing a state auctioneer's license. Licensing requirements are established at the state level and are specific to that jurisdiction's regulations. Thus, even if an auctioneer holds a prestigious position within a national organization, they must still comply with the rules and regulations set by their state concerning licensing.

Each state has its own requirements for obtaining a license, which may include education, examinations, and other criteria not related to membership in national organizations. Hence, it is essential for auctioneers to be aware of their state’s licensing laws, regardless of their affiliation with any national auctioneer associations.
