The American Service Pets Registry is a voluntary online database where you can register your Emotional Support Animal (ESA) or Psychiatric Service Animal (PSA) and receive optional documentation for personal use.

After completing a short form with your and your pet's information, your pet is added to the registry. Depending on your package, you may receive:

• Digital registry records
• Optional ID cards or certificates
• Downloadable documentation for reference

The registry is designed to help owners stay organized and reduce confusion when clarification is requested.

Registering your service dog or support pet with American Service Pets offers:

• A simple way to document your pet's status
• Optional digital and physical identification materials
• Easy access to your pet's registry information
• A centralized place to store ESA or PSA records

Pet registration is a support tool chosen by owners who value accessible documentation.

Registering your pet with American Service Pets offers several practical benefits:

• A simple, quick way to document your pet's status
• Optional digital and physical ID materials for clarity
• Easy access to your pet's registry details at any time
• A sense of legitimacy and organization for your animal's role
• A centralized place to store records related to your ESA or PSA

The registry does not create legal rights, but many owners find it helpful for everyday organization.

Your registration includes:

• Your pet’s breed and name
• Your name and general contact information
• Whether your pet is an ESA or PSA
• A unique registry entry stored in our database

Depending on the package you select, you may also receive optional items such as:

• A printed or digital ID card
• A printed registration certificate
• A downloadable digital record for safekeeping

Pet registration takes about three minutes from start to finish. Once your submission is complete, your pet is instantly added to the registry, and any digital items included with your package are delivered right away.

Physical items, such as cards or certificates, ship according to standard processing and delivery times.

No, you do not need a doctor's letter to register your ESA or PSA with American Service Pets. The registry is voluntary and does not require medical documentation.

However, if you need legal housing protections under the Fair Housing Act or documentation for your PSA, you will need an official letter from a licensed healthcare professional. You can apply for this letter through American Service Pets.

Housing decisions are based on your ESA letter, not on registry entries. Landlords may request information related to accommodation requests, but they cannot require registration.

Businesses cannot require documentation for Psychiatric Service Animals under the ADA, though some owners choose to carry optional ID materials for convenience.

Most domesticated animals commonly used as Emotional Support Animals or Psychiatric Service Animals can be added to the registry, including:

• Dogs
• Cats
• Rabbits
• Selected small companion animals

The pet must be safe, well-behaved, and supportive of your emotional or psychiatric needs.

Depending on the package you choose, you may receive:

• A printed or digital Certificate of ESA/PSA Registration
• A custom ESA identification card (ID)
• A premium stainless steel ESA tag
• And more!

These items are designed for convenience and clarity, not as replacements for any legally required documentation.

Yes. American Service Pets uses secure systems to protect your information and follows privacy best practices to ensure your data is handled responsibly.

An ESA or PSA letter is a clinical document issued by a licensed healthcare professional. It is required for:

• Housing protections for ESAs
• Recognition of task-trained PSAs under disability laws

The Pet Registry, on the other hand, is a voluntary documentation tool. It provides clarity, organization, and proof-of-status materials, but it does not replace the legal requirements associated with ESA or PSA designations.
