1. I will be selling things at my booth. Do I need a California Seller's Permit?
Yes. If you intend to sell anything at your booth, California State law requires you to have in your possession a valid California Seller's Permit.

To obtain a Seller's Permit, visit the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) website or call them at (800) 400-7115.
Note: A Seller's Permit is required prior to making sales. Notify the BOE if you have an urgent need for one.
2. If I'm from another state or country, do I need a California Seller's Permit?
