Pedlars

A pedlar's certificate is a certificate that allows a person to trade (often selling trinkets, household goods and other hand made objects) whilst on foot.

 

Pedlars must hold a certificate under the Pedlar's Act 1871 granted by the police in the district in which they have resided for one month prior to their application. A pedlar's certificate authorises the holder to act as a pedlar within any part of the United Kingdom and remains in force for one year from the date of issue. It can only be granted to persons over the age of 17 years.

 

The appearance of the certificates differs from force to force, but a pedlar's certificate issued by North Yorkshire Police will look like this:

 

Pedlars are required to show their certificates to certain people on demand, including anyone to whom the pedlar offers goods for sale.

Contact the issuing police force if you are not sure whether a certificate is genuine.

 

Please note that having a pedlar's certificate is in no way an indication that the goods for sale are of merchantable quality.
