City of Utica, City of Rome, and most towns require door-to-door solicitors and peddlers to obtain permits and display ID badges. Fees typically 25-100 dollars plus background check.
Utica Codified Ordinances require peddler/solicitor licenses from the City Clerk with background check, photo ID badge, and bond for commercial solicitors. Rome has similar licensing under City Code. Nonprofit, religious, and political canvassers generally exempt under First Amendment (Watchtower Bible v. Stratton, 536 US 150). Hours typically restricted to 9 AM-8 PM or sunset.
