According to the Department’s Crimewatch post:

The permits are good for 30 days and the badge will have an expiration date. They are also to carry some form of identification, such as a driver’s license.
4. What time are solicitors allowed to knock on my door? Monday through Saturday during daylight hours. No soliciting is allowed on Sundays or on any state or federal holidays.
5. How can I prevent solicitors from coming to my home? You have several options: Visit NO SOLICITORS FOR ME for details.
When in doubt about the validity of a solicitor knocking on your door, please call 911 immediately so that an officer can respond to investigate.
