Door-to-door solicitors in Dublin must obtain a Solicitation Permit from the city. Permit requires application, background check, and fee. Hours limited to 9 AM to 8 PM or sunset whichever is earlier.
Dublin requires commercial solicitors (sales, fundraising that involves a benefit exchange) to register with the City of Dublin and obtain a permit before going door-to-door. The application includes identification, background check clearance, description of goods or services, and a fee (typically in the 50-150 dollar range). Permitted solicitors must carry and display the Dublin-issued ID. Hours limited to 9 AM to 8 PM or sunset. Residents may post a No Solicitors sign which solicitors must honor. Religious, political, and charitable canvassing without a commercial exchange is constitutionally protected and not subject to the permit but is still bound by no-knock signs and hours of decency.
Soliciting without permit: minor misdemeanor, fine up to 150 dollars. Violating no-solicitors sign: separate offense, citation.
