Hampton, VA Soliciting & Door-to-Door: Solicitor Permits (2026)

The application must state the applicant's name and address, the person they represent, and the goods or services offered, plus proof of identity and any prior conviction involving moral turpitude. Applicants are photographed and fingerprinted under § 31-38 before a permit issues. Permits cost $20, run only 30 days, and can be renewed for $4.50 under §§ 31-39, 31-42 and 31-43. The director of public safety may refuse or, after notice and hearing, revoke a permit for fraud, false statements, or a moral-turpitude conviction, and permits are nontransferable. The rule applies only to solicitors who demand or accept payment in advance of final delivery, per § 31-17.
