  • Real national registry

  • Trusted since 1995

    Helping animals help people for nearly 30 years.

Put your emotional support animal on the record and get real credentials in hand. Your ESA letter is what protects you in housing under the Fair Housing Act — this kit adds the photo ID card and certificate that make conversations with landlords, property managers, and businesses faster and less awkward. Registration isn't legally required and doesn't replace your letter, but it turns “let me explain” into simply showing proof.

What’s included

  • Lifetime ESA registration
  • Listing in the National Service Animal Database
  • Frameable embossed certificate
  • ESA photo ID card (lifetime warranty)
  • ID-card leash clip
  • Two ESA rocker patches
  • NSAR no-risk money-back guarantee

Questions about registration

Is ESA registration required by law?
No. No law requires an emotional support animal to be on any registry, and no landlord can demand one. Just as important: registration by itself does not create housing rights — that protection comes from a state-licensed ESA letter. Register for the ID and convenience; get the letter if what you need is housing.
What do I actually get?
An official photo ID card, a certificate, and a verifiable NSAR registration number anyone can confirm in our public lookup. The kits add the vest and tag that make an ESA recognizable in public, bundled below the à-la-carte price.
Registration vs. an ESA letter — what's the difference?
An ESA letter is written by a mental-health professional licensed in your state and is the documentation a housing provider must consider under the Fair Housing Act. Registration is identification and a public record. If you're doing this for housing, start with the letter; the registration is the ID that makes everyday life smoother.
How fast do I get it?
Your registration number, digital ID card, and certificate download from your account right after checkout. Physical cards and any gear ship promptly, with a rush option at checkout.
Can one registration cover two animals?
Each registration covers one animal and gets its own ID card, certificate, and number. Add a registration per animal. (Note: a single ESA letter can cover up to two animals — that's the letter, not the registration.)
