Extending the registration of prostitution activity

Since the Prostitute Protection Act came into force on 1 July 2017, binding regulations for the practice of prostitution have been in force nationwide. Anyone who engages in prostitution in Germany is obliged to register with the authorities and seek health advice beforehand. The registration must be extended or renewed after one year for persons between 18 and 21 years of age; in persons older than 21 years, after two years.  

The obligation to register and counsel applies without exception to all people who provide sexual services for a fee.

The health consultation and registration must be done in person. A certificate of registration shall be issued. This is valid nationwide.

Process flow
