Solicitor's License
Solicitor’s licenses are required for canvassing door to door, tagging in the intersection and site sales. There is no charge for the license, but tagging in the intersection is only permitted for Not for Profit Organizations. Tagging requires a $1,000,000 comprehensive general liability insurance. Site sales require letter from owner of property granting permission.
Not for Profit Organizations must submit written statement of recent date by the Attorney General of Illinois that the organization has complied with the provisions of “An Act to Regulate Solicitation and Collection of Funds for Charitable Purposes”, 225 ILCS 460/1 et seq., as now or hereafter amended, if the organization is subject to the statute. A statement by the Attorney General of exemption under 225 ILCS 460/5 is required for religious organizations.
