Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Registration is the formal process of recording your pet in the ESA-cert Global Database. It provides you with verifiable identification (ID Card & Housing Accommodation Request) to demonstrate your animal’s essential role in your mental well-being. It is the professional way to identify your companion to landlords, property managers, and neighbors.

Securely recorded in the ESA-cert registry
Scannable QR code for instant status check
Active registration status for full 24 months
Digital documents sent immediately after order
Don’t let a “No Pets” policy separate you from your best friend. With an ESA status, you strengthen your request to live in rental housing under the Fair Housing Act, regardless of building rules.
Stop paying for your pet to live with you. An Emotional Support Animal is not a “pet” by law. This means you can save $1,000+ per year by avoiding monthly pet rent and hefty security deposits.
Pitbull, Husky, or Rottweiler? Landlords cannot discriminate based on your dog’s breed, size, or weight. Your ESA is your support system, not just an animal.

Everything You Need for Peace of Mind:

Transparency is our priority. Here is how the documents work together to give you maximum protection.
To be legally protected under the Fair Housing Act, landlords have the right to request an ESA Letter from a licensed mental health professional (therapist or psychiatrist). This document confirms your mental health need.
*We do not sell letters. We recommend asking your current therapist for one.
While the letter proves medical need, it does not identify the animal. That is why you need Registration.
Registration provides the ID Card, Certificate, and Database Entry. It is the practical, everyday proof that links YOU to YOUR ANIMAL. It stops uncomfortable questions from neighbors and makes you look like a responsible, documented handler.

At ESA-cert, we believe that support comes in all shapes and sizes. You can register any domesticated animal that provides you with comfort and mental stability. We do not discriminate based on breed, weight, or age.

Important Difference from Service Dogs:
Unlike Service Animals (which must be dogs trained for physical tasks), your ESA does not require professional training. Their primary job is to provide companionship and emotional relief. However, they must be non-aggressive and manageable in housing environments.
you will receive an instant digital ID upon registration
USPS First Class shipping is included: 4-6 business days. You can pay for a tracking number or priority shipping
you can purchase paperwork and receive permanent 15% discount
ID cards include animal’s photo, owner’s signature, and a QR code
Registration gives you access to a secure ESA-cert Personal Account. This is your digital hub for managing your animal’s status.
It is crucial to understand where your Emotional Support Animal is protected by law. The primary law granting you rights is the Fair Housing Act (FHA).
Under federal law, housing providers must make “reasonable accommodations” for assistance animals. This means:
Unlike Service Dogs (trained for physical disabilities), ESAs do not have automatic access to all public areas (like restaurants or malls) or airplane cabins under the ADA. However, your Official Registration and ID Card act as a powerful tool to negotiate entry in “pet-friendly” areas and help staff identify your companion as a working animal, not a pet.
We believe that navigating life with a support animal should be a relief, not a burden.
Our mission is to ensure your everyday experience is easy and worry-free.
That is why we made the process of validating your companion’s status as simple and digital as possible.
Emotional Support Animals perform essential work for your mental health.
They take care of you, so we are here to take care of the paperwork.
You will receive a physical plastic ID card confirming your animal’s registration, along with a printed Housing Accommodation Request.
You will also get a link to your online registration page and a PDF copy of the request to e-mail.
You will receive it almost instantly after our automatic verification and confirmation of your registration. You will get an email once it is successfully completed.
Yes. After registration, you will receive access to a personal account, which you can log into using a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your phone or email. From there, you can request changes to your registration, renew or cancel your subscription, update your animal’s photo, submit support requests, and attach a valid doctor’s letter.
If you want to register an ESA animal you can use registrar online service such as ESAcert.
To qualify for an emotional support animal in the US, acquire a legitimate ESA letter from a state-licensed mental health provider. This letter must clarify why you need the animal for a mental or emotional disability.
Registration is completely legal; however, it is not mandatory. It serves as an additional service to enhance the convenience of everyday identification and to confirm your status based on your doctor’s letter.
Having a legitimate ESA letter from a registered mental health professional is essential for obtaining your animal’s status.
Yes, you have to update them annually from your therapist or physician doctor to get the benefits and accommodations for your emotional support animal.
Free emotional support animal letters are hard to come by. However, some affiliated community health clinics or mental health care providers might be able to offer them for free based on a person’s disability and emotional concerns.
No, the pet restrictions do not apply to the ESA. The Fair Housing Act also requires landlords to allow reasonable accommodation, and the landlord cannot ask for a pet deposit for an ESA.
