ProstSchG Registration: Your Safe Guide for Starting as an Escort
The essentials in brief
Since July 1, 2017, registration under the Prostitute Protection Act (ProstSchG) has been mandatory for all escorts in Germany.
The process always consists of two steps: a health consultation and official registration.
You can register under an alias in order to hide your real name from clients or other third parties on your registration certificate.
The registration certificate is usually valid for two years for individuals aged 21 and over.
A successful career in the high-class segment begins with absolute legal certainty and a professional demeanor towards the authorities. At Goddess Escort, we support you in discreetly and efficiently implementing the legal requirements of the Prostitute Protection Act (ProstSchG). With the correct registration, you create the foundation for self-determined work in which your safety and your identity come first.
Why Registration is Necessary
Since the introduction of the Prostitute Protection Act (ProstSchG) in 2017, working as an escort in Germany is legal, but subject to registration. This applies regardless of whether you only work occasionally, work in a brothel, or travel as a mobile escort lady.
The law was created to strengthen the rights of sex workers, combat crime, and facilitate access to healthcare. In order to work with a reputable agency like Goddess Escort, presenting a valid registration certificate is a mandatory requirement. This not only protects you, but also signals professionalism and reliability to our discerning clients.
The Registration Process in Detail
The official process may seem complicated at first glance, but it is logically structured. It is strictly divided into two separate appointments. This separation is intended to ensure that you can speak completely freely and without pressure about health-related topics in the first step, before the bureaucratic act takes place.
Step 1: Health Counseling
Before you can officially register your activity, you must undergo a health counseling session at your responsible health department (Gesundheitsamt). In Berlin, where our headquarters are located, as well as in other major cities like Hamburg or Munich, there are specialized departments for this.
This consultation covers topics such as disease prevention, pregnancy, and workplace risks. It is important to know that no physical examination takes place here. It is purely a counseling session. At the end, you will receive a certificate confirming that the counseling took place. This certificate is required for the second step.
Step 2: Official Registration
With the health counseling certificate, you go to the responsible registration authority. Depending on the federal state, this can be the public order office (Ordnungsamt), the citizens' office (Bürgeramt), or a specialized office (for example, Pro*BEA in Hamburg). You must present yourself in person.
For this appointment, you will need your ID card or passport, a current passport photo, and the certificate from the health department. If you are from abroad, a work permit may need to be presented. At this appointment, you will then receive your official registration certificate.
Discretion through the Alias Certificate
One of the biggest concerns for many women applying to us is protecting their identity. The law offers a very good solution for this. You have the right to have the registration certificate issued under an alias name (stage name).
In practice, this means: The authority knows your real name and stores it internally. However, the ID you show during inspections or to authorities displays your alias. In addition, you will receive a so-called alias certificate. For example, if you are interested in our casting, the registration certificate is sufficient for our internal review. This keeps your civil identity protected in your everyday work life.
Validity and Renewal
The registration certificate is not valid indefinitely. The law distinguishes based on age in order to monitor younger sex workers more closely:
From 21 years of age: The registration is valid for two years. However, the health counseling must be repeated every 12 months.
Under 21 years of age: The registration is only valid for one year. Health counseling is mandatory every 6 months.
Anyone who misses these deadlines risks fines. We therefore always recommend that our ladies make appointments for renewal in good time, as authorities in cities like Berlin often have long waiting times.
Tip from Fabienne
"Don't let dealing with the authorities intimidate you. The staff in the prostitution protection departments are usually very understanding and trained to help you, not to judge you. They are bound by professional secrecy. Use the conversation there to ask questions that you might otherwise not dare to ask."
The Role of the Agency
As a high-class escort agency, we attach great importance to ensuring that all legal frameworks are met. This serves the safety of everyone involved. Once you have your registration certificate, nothing stands in the way of working together.
We not only support our ladies in arranging exclusive dates, but also provide advice when it comes to organizing everyday professional life. You can find out more about our philosophy and how we work on our About us page. Legal registration is the first step toward a professional career that can open doors to interesting encounters and travel.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Prostitution Registration
Where do I have to register?
You must register in the municipality where you will primarily be working. For example, if you live in Munich but also offer travel services, the Munich office is responsible. The registration is then valid nationwide.
What does the registration cost?
The fees vary depending on the municipality, but are usually within a reasonable range between 15 and 50 euros. Health counseling is generally free of charge.
Will my landlord or employer find out about it?
No. The data is stored by the authority and is not passed on to third parties. There is no entry in the police clearance certificate or any automatic notification to other offices.
Do I have to pay taxes?
Yes, as a self-employed escort lady, you are liable for tax. You must register your activity with the tax office and apply for a tax number. This is a separate process from registration under the ProstSchG. You can often find more information in our Frequently Asked Questions section.
Can I work without registration?
No. Offering sexual services for remuneration without a valid registration is an administrative offense. This can lead to heavy fines and significantly complicates working with reputable agencies.
