What an ESA Letter Can and Can't Do
A lot of sites in this business sell things that don't exist. Here's the line.
What you get
- A 20-minute visit with a pro licensed in your state
- A dated letter on letterhead with the license number on it
- Your PDF within 10 minutes of approval, plus a paper copy by mail on request
- One free rewrite within 12 months for a new housing request
- Nothing to pay unless your provider approves you
What no letter can do
- A registration, certificate, ID card, or vest
- No registry in the US gives your pet any legal rights. If someone sells you "registration," you are buying a souvenir.
- A guaranteed yes from your landlord
- Landlords can call to check the letter. In a few narrow cases, they can still say no.
- A seat on a plane for an ESA
- Since January 2021, airlines have not had to treat emotional support animals as service animals. Most now treat them as pets.
- Service dog training
- A psychiatric service dog has to be trained to do real tasks. A letter can write that down. It can't do the training for you.

Questions
ESA Letter FAQs
What is the difference between an ESA letter and a PSD letter?
An emotional support animal helps just by being there. It needs no training, and the letter backs up a housing request. A psychiatric service dog is trained to do specific tasks that help with a disability. That training is what gives it the right to go in public places under the ADA. A PSD letter writes down your disability and your dog's tasks. It does not create those rights, and you do not need a letter to use them.
Does my landlord have to accept my ESA letter?
Under the Fair Housing Act, most landlords have to consider a request backed by real documentation. They can call to check the letter with the person who signed it. They can say no in a few narrow cases, like if your specific animal is dangerous or would cause serious damage. A good letter makes a strong request. It is not an automatic yes.
Can I fly with my emotional support animal?
Not as a service animal. A Department of Transportation rule that started in January 2021 lets airlines treat emotional support animals as pets, and almost all of them do. Your pet would fly under the airline's pet rules. Trained service dogs, including psychiatric service dogs, are still allowed. For those, airlines ask for the DOT Service Animal Air Transportation Form, which you fill out and sign yourself.
Is there an official ESA registry?
No. There is no federal or state registry, certificate, or license for emotional support animals or service animals. The Department of Justice says plainly that registration papers give you no rights. Websites selling database listings, ID cards, or certificates are selling novelty items. What counts is a letter from someone who actually met with you.
How long does an ESA letter last?
Federal law does not set an expiration date. But most landlords want a letter written in the last 12 months, and many will turn down anything older. We rewrite yours once for free inside 12 months for a new housing request. After that, you would book a new visit.
What happens if I don't get approved?
You are not charged at all. We only take payment after a provider has approved you, so there is nothing to refund. The person you meet with makes their own call, which is exactly why a landlord takes the letter seriously.
Do you cover every state?
Yes. We match you with a professional licensed where you live, in all 50 states. Once they approve you, your signed PDF arrives within 10 minutes.
Can one letter cover more than one pet?
Yes. The tier you pick sets how many pets the letter names. Landlords look at each animal separately, so each one is named and described instead of lumped together.
