Do Not Knock Registry

Do Not Knock

NOPEC’s Do Not Knock program is a free service offered by your local community and NOPEC to stop solicitors from knocking on your door. 

This means that when for-profit, door-to-door salesmen obtain a permit to solicit in your neighborhood, they’ll also receive this list that lets them know which houses and businesses they can’t go to.
