Additional Notes

Must register with the Idaho Attorney General at least 10 days before conducting telephone solicitations in Idaho. One of the lower-cost states: $50 initial, $25 renewal. No bond required. The most significant enforcement mechanism is contract voidability — if you fail to register, all contracts from your solicitations are void from the start. Penalties escalate: $500 first, $2,500 second, $5,000+ for third and subsequent violations.

Idaho does not require separate individual salesperson registration. The telephone solicitor (business entity) registers with the Attorney General, and individual employees are covered. However, individual callers must provide the registration number to any purchaser who requests it.

Apply Before Your First Call

Operating as an unregistered telemarketer in Idaho is a separate violation from consent or calling-hours violations. You can be penalized $5,000 per call even if every other aspect of your operation is compliant.
