This is the online application for the Wisconsin Telephone Solicitor Registration. To apply online, click the "Start New Application" button below. PLEASE NOTE: You MUST register for a MyDATCP online account at the end of the process to ensure that you can edit or view your information later. You will be presented with your invoice and payment options following registration.

The registration year begins December 1 and ends November 30. The registration requires an annual registration fee. The annual registration fee is not prorated - the entire annual fee is due regardless of the date of registration.

The annual registration fee may be paid in quarterly payments. The four quarterly installments are due on or before December 1, March 1, June 1 and September 1 of the registration year, or on the date of initial registration, whichever is later. If paying quarterly, a 20% late fee of the total annual registration fee will apply to telephone solicitors whose quarterly registration payment(s) are not postmarked on or before the due dates indicated above.

If you have questions about the application or fees, please see the Telephone Solicitor Registration Packet here.
