Hi Everyone

I received a few questions after yesterday’s post regards pedlars, so thought this follow up information might be useful. 

Pedlars’ certificates are issued by the Police and can be used UK wide.

Certificates issued by Police Scotland are A4 in size, stamped and dated, showing the pedlars details including a photo, certificate number and nature of the wares they are allowed to sell.

The pedlar should have it on their person and be able to show you, they cannot sell door to door without it.

If you are concerned about anyone attending at your home to sell items  (or indeed any other criminality) please report it via 101 or the Contact Us form of the Police Scotland website Contact Police Scotland – Police Scotland

thanks
