Applying for a permit for a prostitution vehicle

Prostitution vehicles are vehicles that people use to offer sexual services. Any person providing such a prostitution vehicle requires a permit. The following vehicles, for example, may be eligible:

• Bus
• camper van
• caravan
• boat

You will receive the permit for a specific operating concept and a specific vehicle with specific equipment.

The permit is limited to a maximum of 3 years. You can apply for the permit to be extended.

The competent authority may attach certain conditions or requirements to the permit.

If you wish to operate your prostitution business through a proxy, you will also require a proxy permit.

Please note that you may require further permits in addition to the permit requirement for the prostitution business. 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

In certain cases, you may also require permission to use public road areas separately.
