Emotional Support Animal ID Card

An Emotional Support Animal ID card offers evidence of an emotional support animal, its owner, and a trained ESA. This card contains the name of the handler, the name of a dog or cat, a photo, and a QR code that can be scanned to verify identification online. The emotional support dog ID card provided for ESA, along with the optional paperwork, facilitates access for assistance animals like service dogs to accompany their handlers into those places where emotional support animals can go to make their handler’s life easier.

What I need to order an Emotional Support Dog ID Card

To purchase an ESA Dog ID card, one has to have a current Emotional Support Animal Membership with ESAcert. When checkout, supply your membership registration number or the email you used to sign up for membership. If you subscribe for one year or more, you will receive an ID card as a gift. For additional ID cards, you can specify your pet registration number in the notes to the order. This process also guarantees you gather all the vital information for your emotional support dog.

Emotional Support Animal ID Card Specification

The ID card is produced in a CR-80 plastic card with a standard measurement of 3. 125 inches, the size of your credit card or a personal ID card. Other handlers find it convenient to attach the ID to the collar of the emotional support animal for easy identification. For this purpose, we also have smaller ID tags three times smaller than our regular ID cards. Add these to your order by following this link: Mini Collar ID tags.

ID cards include:

• Assistant animal status
• Animal photo
• Handler name;
• Additional handler first and last name (optional);
• Emotional support animal type
• Animal Breed
• Registration Number and state.
• Handler Signature.

Back of ID card

• QR code for online registration membership confirmation page with additional assistant dog information such as a doctor’s letter and notes from the handler.
• The general law provisions and contact numbers for legal support.

Why having a physical ESA ID card is convenient:

1. Eliminates the need to carry the original ESA letter daily: Even with an ID card, you do not need to take your ESA letter around with you all the time in your daily life.
2. No time restrictions: Compulsory ID cards give a lasting solution without any stipulated time frame.
3. Increased recognition: ID cards increase awareness and appreciation by people unfamiliar with the ADA and the United States Fair Housing Act, including reasonable accommodations.
4. Clear identification: ID cards have clear and instant visibility and certainly minimize the need to discuss the ESA dog you are with.

Emotional Support Animal Registration ID Card Validity Period

An ESA card is ideal for identifying your emotional support animal and can work with online registration. The ID card does not even have a date and time for when it expires. Registration validity can be verified through the QR code and online status on the website. Therefore, there are no restrictions related to using the physical ID card, and it is valid only until the membership is terminated. This makes it a valuable resource for every ID card holder and their ESA letter.

It is recommended to order an updated ID card after registration updates, such as:

• Animal picture update
• Animal type or breed correction
• Animal name correction
• Second (additional) handler update

Is an ID Card Necessary?

Many emotional support dog handlers provide information such as identification cards, registration details, certificates, and other dog tags, vests, and harnesses to indicate that the animal has specialized training. However, under federal law, these items are not needed for a esa dog to enter any premises and cannot be afforded any rights. Owners of esa animals employ these items to make others aware of their presence while avoiding unnecessary questions regarding their disability or the animal.

An emotional support pets’ ID card is a convenient and believable tool for offline establishing your emotional support animal’s status. The digital registration then acts as the main proof of the ESA status; however, physical ID cards can be helpful when identification for the dog is required immediately. This optional ID card is not a legal requirement under federal law. Still, it can be beneficial to register and prove vital information about your pet’s status as an emotional support animal. If you are the owner of a service animal, you can make a Service Animal ID Card separately on our website.
