What this form is
Roseland uses this application to review a solicitor’s identity, business, requested dates, and background before deciding whether to issue a license. Applicants submit it to the Municipal Clerk with the required fee, photographs, release authorization, and criminal-history check materials; the form instructions say the applicant’s signature must be notarized before submission. Licenses generally expire three months after issuance, while mobile food vendor licenses have a separate expiration rule.
Who needs it
Each person seeking to solicit or engage in commercial canvassing in Roseland must apply separately, unless an exemption listed in the borough’s ordinance applies.
Why it needs a notary
