Oklahoma City Municipal Code §32-1 requires commercial door-to-door solicitors, peddlers, and canvassers to obtain a Solicitor's Permit from the City Clerk.

Permits are valid 30 to 90 days depending on type and cost $50 to $200. Each solicitor carries a photo ID badge visible while canvassing. Solicitation hours restricted to 9 AM to 9 PM or sunset, whichever is earlier. Religious, political, and charitable canvassing are exempt under First Amendment protections (Village of Schaumburg v.
