# The local license to knock

A solicitor permit is the local license to knock, and solicitor permit meaning is that city card, not a national badge. Knockdesk is field sales software, and this page is general information, not legal advice.

## The card from last week's city does not cover the next territory

You feel it when the crew drives into a new area with last month's badge. Solicitor permit meaning is local. Open the clerk for the territory you will cut. Knockdesk does not issue the license. The laws hub is where the longer city and state pages live.

**Ask the clerk.** Each city writes its own packet. Do not reuse another city's file.

**Keep the visit.** A badge in a folder does not log the knock. The 14 doors in the example still need a pin.

**Not legal advice.** This page names the term. It does not replace counsel or the clerk.

## The license is not the walk

A solicitor permit answers who may knock. Sales canvassing is the walk after that. The laws pages hold the city and state reading this glossary does not repeat.

- [Sales canvassing](/glossary/sales-canvassing): The walk that starts after the crew is allowed to knock.

- [Field sales laws](/laws): State and topic pages. This term page does not restate those rules.

## How Knockdesk tracks it

Knockdesk does not issue a solicitor permit. It logs the visit after the crew is allowed to knock, and it holds do-not-contact pins so a signed house is not hit again. Full desk is on the pricing page.

## Keep going from the clerk

- [Field sales glossary](/glossary): The hub this term opens from.

- [Sales canvassing](/glossary/sales-canvassing): The walk the permit is supposed to allow.

- [Solicitor permits](/laws/solicitor-permits): City sources and the longer reading. Still not legal advice.
