Extend registration for prostitution activities

  • Service description

    The registration certificate that you received when you first registered serves as official proof of your activity. This is valid for one year if you are between 18 and 21 years old. If you are older than 21, the certificate is valid for 2 years.

    In both cases, the registration must be extended after the respective period of validity if you wish to continue your prostitution activity. Otherwise, the same rules apply for the extension of the registration certificate as for the registration.

    The alias certificate can also be extended on request. The period of validity of the alias certificate corresponds to the period of validity of the registration certificate.
