An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter is a document written by a licensed mental health professional that prescribes an emotional support animal as part of a treatment plan for a patient with a mental or emotional disability.

Is this ESA letter template legally valid?

The template provides a professional format, but it must be completed by a licensed mental health professional who has conducted a proper evaluation of the patient. The letter is only valid when signed by a qualified professional.

What information is required in an ESA letter?

A valid ESA letter must include the mental health professional's license information, the patient's details, information about the emotional support animal, and a description of how the animal alleviates symptoms of the patient's condition.

Can I use this template for any type of animal?

Yes, the template can be used for any type of emotional support animal, including dogs, cats, birds, and other animals that provide emotional support. Simply fill in the appropriate details about your specific animal.

How long is an ESA letter valid?

Most ESA letters are valid for one year from the date of issuance. After that, you'll need to get a new evaluation and an updated letter from your mental health professional.

What's the difference between housing and travel ESA letters?

Housing ESA letters are used to request accommodation from landlords under the Fair Housing Act, while travel ESA letters are used to request accommodation from airlines under the Air Carrier Access Act. The requirements and wording for each may differ slightly.

Do I need to register my emotional support animal?

No, there is no official government registry for emotional support animals. The only documentation you need is a valid ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional. Websites offering ESA registration or certification are not legally required.
