Passaic, New Jersey: door-to-door solicitor permit

Partly read: the permit answer is sourced, but the fee or the hours could not be read from the city’s own pages. The clerk questions below cover the gap.

• The answer: Not confirmed. The Passaic Municipal Clerk's Office lists "Canvassing and Solicitation Licenses" among the licenses it handles, so the city does license solicitors. The code article on soliciting and canvassing could not be read, so who needs the license, whether it is per rep, and any exemptions are not confirmed. For the full list of questions, use the City Clerk Call Sheet.
• Where it comes from: The Municipal Clerk's Office, City of Passaic, 330 Passaic Street. The city's Online Applications page offers peddler and temporary peddler license forms, but no solicitor form.
• Fee: Not read. The code article was blocked and the city site does not post a solicitor fee.
• Hours you may knock: Not read. The code article was blocked.
• What the rep carries: Not read.
• What takes the time: Not read.
• Code: City of Passaic Code, article titled Soliciting and Canvassing, on eCode360; peddling and hawking is a separate article. Section numbers were not read.

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Whether a door-to-door rep taking orders for a service (such as fiber internet) needs the canvassing and solicitation license, and whether each rep needs one
• The fee, what it covers, and how long the license lasts
• What hours door-to-door soliciting is allowed, and the code section
• Whether a police background check, fingerprints or a badge are required, and how long approval takes
