Door to Door Solicitation
The City of Darien currently has zero for-profit organizations with current Solicitor Permits.
Darien requires that solicitations from for-profit organizations need to apply for a permit, which includes an application for each solicitor they employ. Once the permit application is completed and submitted including authorization from the company, a background check is conducted. Upon approval and receipt of the appropriate fee, a thirty-day permit will be issued.

Charitable organizations, however, only need to provide a letter indicating the dates of solicitation, the type of solicitation, and if appropriate, the intersections where volunteers will be posted.
Residents who would like to deter solicitors from their home may pick up a "No Solicitors Invited" decal for their front door at City Hall (1702 Plainfield Road) or the Darien Police Dept. (1710 Plainfield Road). You are not required to answer the door for a solicitor and you can call 911 to report it.
