St. George, Utah: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: Yes — a certificate.
• Where it comes from: City licensing officer, 435-627-4000
• Fee: Not published by the city.
• Hours you may knock: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mountain (3-2B-19, Ord. 2006-09-003).
• What the rep carries: A city badge, for which the applicant supplies a passport-style photograph (per the city’s checklist).
• What takes the time: A BCI background check dated no more than 180 days before the application. Two documents say slightly different things and the stricter one is the one the counter uses: the code accepts “an original or a copy” (3-2B-2; 3-2B-7.G), while the city’s own application checklist asks for an “Original Background Check … Must include the cover page and seal.” Send the original with its cover page. Last summer’s check will not do either way.
• Code: St. George Code 3-2B-2; 3-2B-6; 3-2B-7; 3-2B-19
• Worth knowing: The checklist wants each applicant listed in the format {Your personal name} @ {Company Name}, and says the application file becomes a public record — though the BCI check itself stays protected.
