The SimpliSafe® Mobile App and Online Account will advise you if you need to apply for a permit with your local municipality. 

First, you’ll need to work with your local municipality to obtain a permit, and if required, you’ll pay the registration fee to your municipality.

Next, you’ll need to register your permit information with SimpliSafe®, so that we have it should an alarm occur at the location of your system.

If your municipality requires you to apply for a permit, you’ll need to contact your municipality for further assistance. Please note that different towns and cities refer to alarm permits by different names. Below is a short list of some of the most common names:

• Account Number

• Alarm Permit Account Number

• Alarm User Permit Number

• Assigned ID Number

• Business Alarm Permit

• Customer Number

• Decal Number

• License Number

• Permit Application Number

• Police Department Code Number

• Registration Number
