^ Kara says as of 2012 there was no license... I'd call a club and ask.

The San Diego City Permit website says an Adult Entertainment Employee License is $251. I'm not sure if that's out of date or not.

No they do not I had to get my record clean before I got my license. If you have a felony period even if you did probation and paid whatever fees were required you will be denied.

Under Canada, in Ontario, you also need a license in Hamilton ($270) and Burlington ($200).
Not sure if the OP is still being updated, but if so, Barrie, Toronto, Vaughn, and Niagara are also in Ontario. Calgary and Edmonton are in Alberta.

Houston, there's only two clubs you need a license and that's Houston dolls and St James. Supposedly it's 300 dollars now. Also some clubs do background checks in Houston and Dallas does background checks as well. For St James, if trying to work, they won't hire you if you're an out of town girl. By law majority of the big clubs in Houston are supposed to do background checks but some do and don't. Depends on what manager is there at time of hire. But you should call ahead to talk to the managers before arriving. The city laws change and vary throughout thr state so just know all the info beforehand.

Those charges will follow you no matter where you go. And no most places that do licensing and background will not give you a sexually oriented business license if you have a prostitution charge. You should talk to an attorney about possibly seeing if it can be expunged. Texas won't hire you because of that so don't even waste your time.

SF still no license. SD requires business tax certificate + license, around $500. Just throwing it out there that is a club in Lemon Grove, just east of SD called Little Darlings that doesn't require the license- it's a Deja Vu club if I remember correctly, kinda ghetto but I actually banked when I worked there a few years ago. There's also one in Oceanside, about 45 mins north of SD called the Main Attraction, no license required.
Does anyone have info on Reno, NV? :)

I know there's a license for Reno and that it's around $300... if you find a thread with the info, please let me know (I don't have time to dig it out right now, sorry).
Also, updated the main post, thanks girls!

Philly - "technically" you're supposed to have a license (around $200, I believe), but no club is ever gonna ask you to prove you got it, lol.

Update: No one asks you to actually have a license in rochester, ny. South Hackensack, Nj requires a $50 license- idk how well enforced that is.
