What is needed to bid in an auction?
Updated on Mon, 07 Jul, 2025 at 12:23 PM
Sotheby’s requires bidders to create an account to ensure a seamless bidding experience. With an account, you'll be able to easily register for any sale through our auction calendar, whether you plan to bid in person or online.
Follow our step-by-step account creation guide to assist you in this process. Our Client Care team is also available to answer any questions.
Please note that some auctions and lots require additional financial verification, such as a bank reference. A member of our team will contact you if this is necessary.
