Article 10.9 (Door to Door Solicitation) of the Roswell Code requires any person soliciting goods, services, or contributions door-to-door to register with the city. The application process: submit a Solicitor Permit Application; receive an email with appointment scheduling; appear in person at Roswell Police Records (1080 Holcomb Bridge Road, Mon-Fri 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) to pay the fee, be photographed, and submit fingerprints. All applicants must show a current business license; non-citizens must also provide work authorization. Solicitors must carry the permit while soliciting and present it on demand. Registered nonprofits and certain political/religious canvassers may be exempt under First Amendment limits but should still verify status with police. Roswell Police Records: 770-640-4100.
