Subject: Official Information request - Is a BROTHEL OPERATOR CERTIFCATE
required?

 

Dear Ministry of Justice,

 

I would like to request information and clarification about the BROTHEL
OPERATOR CERTIFICATION.

 

I am running an escort agency that is purely online. This website connects
escorts to clients, with prices, rates, and times all dictated by the
escorts themselves.

 

The Escort solely advertises their services on the site, and dictates
their own conditions of their work, when and where they will work, as well
as how much they are paid.

 

However, as my website advertises this publicly, it may be classed as a
supervising role to the above.

 

Under these conditions, do I need to apply for a BROTHEL OPERATOR
CERTIFICATION?

 

Yours faithfully,

Kevin
