Service Animal Certificate

Service Dog Certificate is essentially a piece of paper that confirms the service dog’s status as an emotional support animal. It just re-establishes the animal’s necessity and purpose of helping its master. Unlike service dog certifications, with this certificate, service dog owners can prove their dog’s functions.

Difference Between

• Service dog registration: is a record that can be accessed and verified online through a database. It also contains a plastic identification card bearing a Quick Response Code for an online check. This modern approach allows service dog handlers to certify the status of a service animal required.
• Service dog certifications: certificate are the traditional types of IDs without expiration, favored in official contexts where tangible evidence is required. Although it is not necessary to have both, they each state that an emotional support or psychiatric service dog is trained to perform tasks related to the person’s disability.

In contrast to the therapy dogs, these assistance animals provide specific support. A certificate can be created for those who prefer non-expiring documents with occasional updates.

You will receive a printed color certificate in letter format, not laminated. This certificate will include:

• Service dog certification type: Individually trained to assist people with a person’s disability.
• Owner Information: Up to two owners specified on the registration.
• Animal Type.
• Breed: Provided to the best of your knowledge.
• Registration US State.

The certificate will also indicate the registration number and service dog laws and state that Esacert is the registrar. Service dog ID cards, tags, or vests are other forms of ID that demonstrate people accept your dog as a service animal.

Please note that the certificate does not have a signature or seal, nor does it require one.

The letter from a doctor is different from the service dog certification acquired from Esacert to show that the particular dog has been registered to work as an emotional support dog or a service dog. A doctor’s letter verifies your need for a dog with special training for a mental or physical disability. If your dog is individually trained to perform tasks, the dog performs necessary support roles for you.

We do not issue these letters; they should be provided by a licensed therapist or medical professional. Call your therapist to get the proper paperwork for service dogs.

Please note that personalized paperwork and plastic ID cards are non-refundable.

What animal can obtain a Service animal certificate?

Esacert does not limit the kind of animal that can get service dog certifications to become a service animal. Though the more prevalent type of assistance animal is a service dog, cats, and other animals can offer services and thus may be granted certification. If emotional support animals or therapy dogs are required and a doctor suggests it, it can be any safe animal.

However, legal procedures block the safety of living with an animal. To qualify for this category, any animal must be able to perform a certain task for individuals suffering from specific disabilities. Therefore, from the registrar’s view, you can only get a certificate for animals with Esacert accounts and have a valid registration. It ensures that every dog or any other registered animal is certified and given recognition for being a supportive animal.

It is essential to clarify that definite organizations have different approaches to the meaning of the “service animal certificate.” Some people call it a doctor’s letter, which is also wrong. Only a therapist or family doctor who has known you for over six months can give such a letter by law. Thus, no Internet service would help you get the doctor’s letter.

Purchasing service dog certifications with an ID card, vest, and tags is possible through our site. After successful registration with Esacert, you can apply for an online service animal certificate. It involves service dogs and emotional support animal (ESA) certificates or a therapy dog certification.

When you buy from our special combo packages, you get the certificate in PDF format the same day. This certificate grants your dog a service designation and confirms public access rights.

Benefits

A service dog certificate gives all registration rights without limitation of time, making it permanent proof of your emotional support animal or psychiatric service dog.

• Easy Verification: service dog ID provides immediate evidence that your animal is, in fact, a service dog or an emotional support dog, which may be necessary for interaction with landlords, airlines, or any entity that requires proof under federal law.
• Access to Housing: Fair Housing Act requires that landlords should make reasonable accommodations for individuals suffering from disabilities. A certificate can allow a service dog handler to live in “no-pet” buildings under the Fair Housing Act by proving the nature of your support dog.

• Travel Convenience: airlines permit service dogs or emotional support animals to fly with passengers. Documentation facilitates taking your support dog along; however, airline procedures are subject to change and should be consulted.
• Peace of Mind: keeping paperwork for your service dog or emotional support animal helps you be ready whenever you are requested to demonstrate your companion animal’s status.
• Recognition and Respect: official service dog certificate increases credibility and appreciation for the support dog and the owner, helping to avoid conflicts with property managers, airline employees, and others by acknowledging the American Disability Act.
• Supplement to Service Animal Letter: although a letter from a certified professional is essential, certificates for a service dog demonstrate extra identification, further confirming the need for the service dog or emotional support dog for public access.

We aim to help make life easier and brighter for those who own a service dog or emotional support animal. As mentioned, you often need proof of your animal’s status and try to make it as easy as possible with technology. A service dog or emotional support animal should not be an issue or a source of distress to others. We greatly appreciate these animals and thank them daily for their excellent job.
