Cheyenne, Wyoming: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: Yes — a residential door-to-door solicitors business license from the city clerk, plus a license identification badge approved and issued for each solicitor (5.76.040(A)). Both run for fourteen consecutive days (5.76.070).
• Where it comes from: The Office of the City Clerk. The clerk forwards the application to the chief of police for a background review and recommendation (5.76.040(B), (C)).
• Fee: $100.00 for the business license for a fourteen-day period, plus $15.00 for each solicitor's license identification badge for the same period (5.76.040(B)). So one license at $100.00 plus $15.00 for each badged rep, every fourteen days. A new application is filed for each additional fourteen-day license (5.76.070(D)).
• Hours you may knock: No uninvited soliciting before ten a.m. or after seven p.m., local time, on any day (5.76.050(E)).
• What the rep carries: The city-issued badge with the rep's photo, worn or displayed so the public can see it at all times; proof of the current license and badge must be shown to any resident or officer who asks (5.76.020, 5.76.050(A)). At first contact the rep verbally gives his or her name, company and purpose (5.76.050(G)).
• What takes the time: A signed application listing every rep to be badged, with two current 2-by-2 front-face photographs of each, the proposed dates and hours, a description of what is sold, and copies of any brochures and the customer contract; then a police background review (5.76.040(B), (C)). The applicant must also acknowledge in writing that it has read the chapter and will be responsible for its reps (5.76.010(C)). No processing time is published.
• Code: Cheyenne Municipal Code, Title 5, Chapter 5.76 — Temporary or Transient Merchants; Residential Door-to-Door Solicitors (5.76.010 to 5.76.080). Municode shows the code covering ordinances through 4662, passed March 23, 2026 (Supp. No. 73).
• Worth knowing: No soliciting at a home posted "no solicitors" or similar, and no more than two reps at the same location at the same time for the same product (5.76.050(B), (F)). Before a customer signs, the rep must say what city licenses or permits the purchase may need and that Wyoming law may give three days to cancel (5.76.050(J)). Reps selling anything installed with electrical wiring must first check with the building safety department (5.76.050(C)).

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Whether the November 2025 draft ordinance changing the 5.76.050 hours to early morning until sunset was ever adopted
• How many business days the police background review takes before badges are issued
• Whether one business license covers a whole team, with only the badge fee charged per rep
