ESA Pass is not a government agency and no official emotional support animal registry exists, including ours. Our certificate and ID card are convenience products with no independent legal force. They do not entitle an emotional support animal to the rights and privileges accorded by law to a guide, signal, or service dog, and they are not a substitute for a letter from a licensed health care professional, which is what a housing provider may ask for. Knowingly and fraudulently representing yourself as the owner or trainer of a guide, signal, or service dog is a misdemeanor under California Penal Code §365.7 and unlawful in many other states.

What's on the card

The front carries your pet's photo, name, species and breed, your name as handler and the registration number. The back has a QR code that opens your pet's verification page, with the date the card was issued and the date the listing runs through.

You watch the card build itself as you type, so you see exactly what you're getting before you pay.

Print it, or get it laminated

The Digital Kit gives you print-ready PDFs of the card and a matching Certificate of Registration, by email in about a minute. Print the card at credit-card size on any home printer.

The Complete Kit adds a laminated card and a printed certificate, mailed free in the U.S.

What the card does and doesn't do

It's a quick answer for everyday moments: a front desk, a dog walker, a new neighbor. The number on it checks out on our verification page.

It doesn't create housing rights and doesn't make a pet a service animal. For housing, what counts is a letter from a licensed health professional who knows you.

Questions people ask

Is an ESA card required?

No. No government keeps an ESA registry, and registering is never legally required. Ours is a private registration: a record of your pet and you, with a number anyone can look up.

Will my landlord have to accept the card?

No. A registration is not an ESA letter. Under the Fair Housing Act, what a housing provider may ask for is a letter from a licensed health professional who knows you. We don't write those. Many people carry a card alongside their letter for everyday convenience.

Can I get a card for my cat?

Yes. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles and other household companions each get their own card and number.

Can I see the card first?

Yes. The sample page shows both sides of the card and the certificate exactly as they arrive.

Does the card expire?

Your card and certificate never expire. The listing on the verification page runs 12 months, and renewing it is up to you.
