Assistance Animal ID Card & Registration, plus Housing Accommodation Request
Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Registration is the official process of documenting a personal animal with a special assistant status, which distinguishes it from being considered just a pet and instead, as an animal whose purpose is to provide mental support to its owner. Since these animals are on duty and offer constant essential support, they are legally exempt from the restrictions imposed on ordinary household pets. They are not considered pets at all.
Registration is not mandatory — it is an additional step to make daily identification of your animal and confirmation of its special status easier.
In addition to the ID card, which quickly confirms status, it’s easy to share links or QR codes with anyone who needs the registration information. Your personal account allows you to attach your ESA doctor’s letter or any other note to the digital animal ID webpage, simplifying the process of proving your assistance animal’s status.
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.
For some reason, clients who need an emotional support animal in different unforeseen situations need them not only in regular pet-friendly areas. 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.
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. Certified through registration, your emotional support animal will be embraced, making certain that landlords and other areas that the public uses allow for emotional support animals.
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.
The public also needs to note that, as a registrar, we cannot verify the authenticity of the ESA letter online, which is why it is not required for the registration process. It is up to the handler to document this. In the same respect, it should also be noted that some individuals with mental disabilities may require more than one animal to meet their needs. While service animals allow people to gain mobility, emotional support animals are essential for individuals needing companionship.
After completing the form, you must provide billing and shipping addresses (if your order includes physical items) and choose a payment method. You can select the additional paperwork and accessories and pay for the subscription.
Once the payment is processed, you will access your account, where you can attach an ESA letter (optional) and add notes such as the animal’s chip number or distinguishing features. You can also manage your membership, including renewing payments or requesting refunds for unused months.
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.
Enrolling any type and breed of pet in the organization is possible. It can be emotional support dogs, cats, rabbits, raccoons, hamsters, or ferrets. There is no regulation concerning ESAs, but they cannot be aggressive in public or at home to their owners, other family members, or other persons. Most people fail to understand that ESAs are not like service animals in that they offer emotional support to their owners.

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.
Some disabled people can have emotional support animals as their reasonable accommodations in houses that do not allow pets without paying pet fees.
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.
