What documentation do I need to provide?

If you plan on utilizing NASTF-assigned credentials for automotive manufacturer security-related transactions, your business must be recognized by a governing agency. In order to confirm your business’s eligibility, documentation proving its active and good standing status within your state of operation is required. You will need to provide a few items, including:

Proof of Identification – A legible color copy of your current valid US or Canadian driver’s license from the state or province of operation

Proof of Employment/Ownership – establishes whether the applicant is working as a full-time (not contract or 1099) employee or is the owner of the business. Acceptable documents include:

• W-2 form (W-4’s and W-9’s will not be accepted)
• Current pay stub
• Current and dated HR letter (identifying employee by name and current work location)
• Current and dated legal business document listing applicant as owner of the company

Business License – shows the business is currently active and in good standing within the state of operation. Examples of documentation NASTF accepts include:

• Notice of Good Standing/Fact from Secretary of State, dated and signed this year.
• Screenshot from your state website showing your business is currently active.
• Business license issued by your county/city/state dated this year for your business.
• Sales tax certificate/permit from the city/county/state for your business, dated and signed this year.
• Annual tax return can also be accepted, dated and signed this year by a preparer.

Locksmith License – if required in your area, this is necessary to acquire key codes

Certificate of Insurance – since the VSP Applicant/User will be performing security-related transactions, the coverage provides assurance that in case of any concerns, the insured and NASTF are protected from liability. NASTF requires Primary Account Holders to maintain at least a $1 million aggregate / $500,000 per event Commercial General Liability policy.
