What is ESA Letter?
An ESA letter is a document that serves as proof of one’s need for an emotional support animal as a form of treatment for a qualifying mental health condition. ESA letters are written and assigned on an individual basis and allow the right to keep an emotional support animal in a residence under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) – regardless of landlord rules/housing policies.
A legitimate ESA letter also serves as a legal exemption from pet rent or pet deposits. An ESA letter must be provided by a licensed mental health practitioner to be considered legitimate, and must include the patient’s name, date of birth, and confirmation of the patient’s qualifying mental health disorder. Don’t worry, your actual diagnoses won’t be shared!
An ESA letter does not provide protections for traveling with a pet or assistance animal. To travel with your animal worry-free, they must be a Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD).

Emotional Support Animal Registration Myths
Contrary to popular belief, there is NO OFFICIAL, U.S., F.H.A. OR GOVERNMENTAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL REGISTRY.
Any company purporting to offer “official” ESA registration is operating in bad faith or may be attempting to scam users. Emotional support animals do not need to be registered. One must only be issued an ESA letter to have their pet become an official emotional support animal.
Some companies may choose to host a proprietary ESA registry but these should not be confused as to having any officiality or legal standing.

Emotional Support Animal vs. Psychiatric Service Animal?
An emotional support animal is very similar to a psychiatric service animal in that they both help relieve symptoms of a mental or emotional disability. The process for qualifying for an ESA or PSA is exactly the same.
Where they differ is in the standard of training. A Psychiatric Service Animal has training standards that they are required to meet (no formal evaluation is necessary, but the ADA puts out general guidelines) whereas an emotional support animal does not need to meet any behavioral or training standards. A PSA needs to meet the following criteria:
1. Well Mannered In Public
This means they generally need to not bark, chase other dogs, jump on other people, and basically need to behave well when outside of your home.
2. Trained To Perform A Task That Alleviates A Symptom of Your Mental Health Disability
This can be any task as long as it helps impact your mental or emotional disability in some way.
