ESA CERT provides an affordable Registration Membership for your emotional support animal that will not pinch your pocket. This membership comes in a simple monthly subscription system with a money-back guarantee for the amount for the remaining unused months.

We allow you to get an online membership, which works anywhere and anytime from your computer or mobile. It is easy to share links/QR codes if there are others you’d like to relay the registration information to. Also, our membership allows you to attach your ESA doctor letter or any other note on the digital animal ID webpage, simplifying the assistant animal status proof process.

Membership also means that your emotional support animal is officially recognized, which is great because the law protects you. This official standing enables your emotional support animal to go with you in places where pets are not generally permitted, providing the requisite help for your mental or emotional disability, like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and others.

These animals are legally excluded from the typical limitations related to household pets under federal law, so they are not considered pets. This official standing enables your emotional support animal to go with you in places where pets are not generally permitted, providing the requisite help for your mental or emotional disability, like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and others.

Why do handlers prefer to have an official ESA animal?

ESAs and service animals are always on call and cannot be refused entry by an apartment or building, even if it prohibits pets. Although certain limitations apply to situations that may be potentially unsafe for sanitation and hygiene, any registered ESA can accompany the handler anywhere, including buses or trains. Registration provides an additional level of convenience in quickly confirming the status of your service animal in everyday life, saving the owner significant time and effort.

If you have a verified emotional support animal, you can be sure of its company within restricted areas and housing facilities. The law safeguards your right to have an ESA for your medical purposes. However, it is important to remember that the owner must have a valid letter from a doctor as proof of their medical need for an emotional support animal.

How to get an Emotional Support Animal Registration

With a doctor’s recommendation, also called an ESA letter, you can proceed with your ESA membership with ESACert. ESA Doctor’s letter is the primary document that proves the animal will have a positive impact on your mental health. With the right documentation, your emotional support animal can legally accompany you to the places where you need that support.

What is an ESA letter, and how do you get one?

To qualify for an emotional support animal, the person in question should have a professional medical assessment from a certified mental health care professional. To qualify for an emerita support animal, one must be suffering from a mental health condition such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, or PTSD. A psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or counselor should diagnose these effects.

The recommendation is normally given as an ESA letter, also called a doctor’s letter. Although the letter must present the mental health condition that qualifies an individual for an ESA, the specific diagnosis may not be necessary. The letter should detail how the animal comforts the person and state that the emotional support animal is part of the recommended treatment plan. No person, including landlords or staff members of a building, organization, or business, can question your mental and emotional issues as you prove the nature of your emotional support animal. All they can ask is if it is an emotional support animal that you are living with.

How do I order an ESA membership for my animal?

Choose a convenient membership term, and note that a one-year or longer subscription includes a free physical ID card confirming your registration. Although it serves the same purpose as the online confirmation page, many people prefer the physical ESA ID card for its credibility. The card includes a QR code that links to your online membership page.

To get a support animal registration please fill out the form:

• Owner Information: You can identify up to two owners for emotional support animal registration.
• Animal Type: Regarding the law, any domesticated animals can provide emotional support for their owners.
• Breed.
• Photo of the Animal.

Please note that as a registrar, we cannot verify the authenticity of your ESA letter online, so its presence remains the responsibility of our clients. After completing the registration, you can attach your ESA letter to your account to ensure it is always displayed on the verification page.

Please note that funds for additional issued documents, plastic ID cards, and accessories are non-refundable.

ESA Law

The primary direct law that applies to ESAs in the United States is the Fair Housing Act (FHA), which provides reasonable accommodations for emotional support animals.

One thing worth noting is that while ESAs are widely used, they cannot be considered service animals as defined under the ADA, which only recognizes dogs, cats, and certain other animals that are used by people with physical impairments. Thus, ESAs, unlike service animals, do not possess the same public access rights. In contrast, with Service Animals, animals other than dogs and miniature horses are included, and these animals do not require any training to perform the tasks assigned to them. It is very possible to register rabbits, turtles, raccoons, esta cats, etc.

Other federal and state laws might do this and offer different protections and regulations of ESAs, but the one above specifically relates to the matter in FHA.

The Fair Housing Act (FHA) prohibits discrimination in housing based on disability and allows individuals with disabilities to keep emotional support animals, even in housing with “no pets” policies. Landlords must provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with ESAs, and tenants must provide documentation, such as an ESA letter from a licensed healthcare professional.

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) regulates the transportation of service animals and emotional support animals on airlines. Airlines must allow emotional support animals to accompany their owners in the cabin without extra charges. Passengers must provide proper documentation in advance, such as an ESA letter from a licensed healthcare professional.

It is also important to understand that an ESA letter is the original document that allows you to have an emotional support animal. Registration, certification, and similar documents are just additional everyday tools to indicate and prove your ESA dog or other animal status and are not required. Essential membership alone may not be legally adequate evidence of the status, and landlords will be entitled to request an original letter from a doctor.
