Application Procedure and Contents. Each applicant for a solicitation permit shall file with the Village Manager a properly completed application therefor on a form provided for such purpose by the Village Manager. Each applicant shall verify under oath all statements made on or in connection with the application. Every applicant must provide the Village with sufficient documentation to establish the applicant’s identity, which may include a driver’s license, passport, state identification card, or volunteering to be fingerprinted by the Riverside Police Department. The failure of an applicant to provide such documentation is a basis for the Village to deny that application. A new application shall be required to solicit after the expiration of any permit issued under this chapter. Each application shall contain, at a minimum, the following information about the applicant:
(A) The applicant’s name and current residence address.
