Please note

You may also need a separate permit if you want to use public rights-of-way.

The responsible authority has the right to monitor and control your prostitution event. If you hold such an event without a permit or fail to comply with your reporting obligations, you are committing an administrative offense and may be subject to a fine.

Deadlines

You must report the prostitution event to the relevant authority at least four weeks before it begins.

Procedure

• You submit the notification and all documents to the responsible authority.
• The responsible authority will review your documents. If necessary, they may request additional documents from you.
• If the necessary conditions are not met, the competent authority may prohibit the reported prostitution event from taking place.

Processing time

The processing time depends on the individual case.
