Applying for a prostitution license for a prostitution business
Description
If you have set up a prostitution business, you can have it operated by a representative. To do this, you can appoint one or more persons as a proxy. To do this, you must apply for a proxy permit for each person appointed as a proxy.
The competent authority can issue this permit for a limited period.
The competent authority will check whether the person appointed as a deputy is reliable. If they are unreliable, the authority will reject the application for a proxy permit.
Please note that you may require further permits in addition to the prostitution business permit. You may also be required to register elsewhere. This applies in particular to the following legal areas:
- Restaurant law
- trade law
- building law
- water law
- Immission control law
- You have a valid permit or corresponding application ID for an online application for the operation of a prostitution business.
- The person designated as a prostitute is at least 18 years old.
- The person to be registered has agreed to a background check.
There are no indications or special features.
