The ID badges will clearly identify the solicitor and the organization represented.

A permit is NOT required for: 

  • persons under eighteen years of age if engaged in fundraising activities for youth organizations; 
  • persons seeking solely to promote religious views;
  • political candidates or parties or their supporters seeking to advocate particular points of view, issues or candidates;
