In 1984, the club was promoted to the Estonian SSR Championship, but was relegated at the end of the season. The club returned to the top division in 1987, but was relegated again after finishing the season last. In 1989, the club changed its name to Autobaas and returned to the top division once again. In 1992, the club changed the name to Narva Trans and became founding members of the new Meistriliiga, finishing the inaugural season in seventh place. Narva Trans finished the 1994–95 season in third place. The club made their European debut in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup.

{{main|Narva Kalev-Fama Stadium}}

Narva Trans uses the Kalev-Fama artificial turf stadium as its home ground during winter and early spring months. Renovated in 2013, the stadium complex is also the training base of the club.

In 2024, Narva opened an indoor football facility named Narva Jalgpallihall, which serves as the club's training ground during the snowy winter period. With the construction cost of €7 million, it is the most expensive football hall built in Estonia.{{Cite web |last= |date=2023-07-24 |title=Narva linn sõlmis lepingu jalgpalli pneumohalli ehitamiseks |url=https://sport.err.ee/1609042706/narva-linn-solmis-lepingu-jalgpalli-pneumohalli-ehitamiseks |access-date= |website=ERR |language=et}}

The former crest which was introduced in 1997, featured the logo of Narva Auto AS, the transport enterprise that was the basis on which the football club was founded.{{Cite web |title=Эмблема |url=https://www.fctrans.ee/klub/emblema/ |access-date=2023-11-23 |website=JK Narva Trans |language=ru-RU}} The colour scheme reflected the colours of the city's flag - yellow and blue.

The logo of the club was modernised in 2018. The central part of the current crest of Narva Trans features the city's main symbol Narva Hermann Castle, and the logo of Narva Auto AS. The crest carries the club's colours, which are red and blue.
