Orlando, Floridaper-rep permit, starts with fingerprints
  • The answer: Yes — and it is per individual, not per company. Anyone knocking to sell, lease or rent consumer goods or services needs one.
  • Where it comes from: City of Orlando. Fingerprinting at the Orlando Police Department on West South Street, by appointment only.
  • Fee: Not published by the city.
  • Hours you may knock: No official source stating them was reached.
  • What the rep carries: The permit is printed by the applicant, who places his own photograph in the marked area and signs it.
  • What takes the time: It starts with a fingerprinting appointment, and the appointment book is the constraint.
  • Code: The city’s permit page cites no section. Ask the City Clerk for one before relying on any of it in writing.
  • Worth knowing: The city does not publish the initial fee — an invoice follows the review — and renewal is $10. The conduct list has two route rules in it: no entering private property where a No Solicitors sign is posted, and no continuing to actively solicit after a clear refusal.
