An ESA letter is a letter written by a licensed mental health professional (LHMP)that confirms you have a diagnosis of a mental or emotional disorder, and that prescribes an emotional support animal (ESA) as a treatment option for that disorder.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9930\" src=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/esa-letter-card.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b3117286.smushcdn.com\/3117286\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/esa-letter-card.png?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 606w, https:\/\/b3117286.smushcdn.com\/3117286\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/esa-letter-card-340x400.png?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since an ESA is considered medically necessary, they have more rights than a standard companion animal; for example, ESA documentation allows them to live with you in almost any housing, including most housing with no-pet policies. This includes rental homes, apartments, condos, townhouses, and even most college dorms. Your ESA paperwork also exempts your animal from pet deposits, pet fees, and breed, size, or weight restrictions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the legal rights of an ESA, your ESA prescription letter must be written by an LHMP licensed to practice in your state who has spoken to you in person or on a telehealth call to determine your eligibility. At US Service Animals, we can match you with a qualified LHMP to ensure you receive a legally valid ESA housing letter.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is an Emotional Support Animal?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An emotional support animal (ESA) is any animal that has been prescribed to offer support and comfort to someone with a mental health disorder. Unlike a service animal, they require no task-specific training; instead, their presence itself is deemed medically necessary, as they can offer a sense of comfort and purpose to their handler.<\/p>\n<h2>Our ESA Letters Process \u2013 Quick &amp; Simple<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row text-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 d-flex\">\n<div class=\"esal-info-card mb-3 d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9928\" src=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/card-form.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b3117286.smushcdn.com\/3117286\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/card-form.png?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 227w, https:\/\/b3117286.smushcdn.com\/3117286\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/card-form-150x150.png?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Fill Out Our Consultation Form<\/h3>\n<p>Answer just a few brief questions so that we can get in touch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 d-flex\">\n<div class=\"esal-info-card mb-3 d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9927\" src=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/card-call.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"219\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Talk Directly with a Therapist or MD<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ll arrange a telehealth appointment with the appropriate mental health professional in your state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 d-flex\">\n<div class=\"esal-info-card mb-3 d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9929\" src=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/card-letter.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"201\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Receive Your ESA Letter<\/h3>\n<p>If you qualify, you&#8217;ll receive your ESA letter by email in as little as 24 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-center mb-3\"><a class=\"btn esal-cta-button\" href=\"#consultation-form\">See if you qualify for an ESA letter<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Get an ESA Letter Online the Legitimate Way<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your ESA prescription must be written by a mental health professional (LMHP) in your state (after speaking with you in person or over the phone) and comply with any other <a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/emotional-support-animal-laws\">state-specific ESA laws<\/a>.

month-long professional relationship with your LMHP before they can prescribe you an ESA).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make things simple, we have put together in-depth guides on how to

400;\">How to Avoid ESA Letter Scams: Get a Valid ESA Housing Letter<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, many companies offer illegitimate ESA letters and are essentially scams. To stay safe when shopping for an ESA prescription letter online, keep the following tips in mind:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"esal-red-bullet\">\u2718<\/span> <strong>If You Don\u2019t Get to Speak Directly With an LHMP, It\u2019s Likely a Scam.<\/strong> Emails, chats, quizzes, and forms do not count as one-on-one discussions with a mental health professional; the discussion must be by phone or in person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"esal-red-bullet\">\u2718<\/span> <strong>Be Cautious of Free ESA Letters or Immediate Approval.<\/strong> Online ESA consultations are generally not free (unless you don\u2019t qualify). You also cannot legally obtain an ESA letter without a one-on-one consultation, so sites that offer immediate approval are typically scams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"esal-red-bullet\">\u2718<\/span> <strong>Watch for Inaccurate Claims, Like Being Able to Fly With an ESA for Free.<\/strong> An ESA letter only gives you specific housing rights. It no longer allows your ESA to fly with you for free, and it doesn\u2019t give you ESA public access rights (only a service animal, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/psychiatric-service-dog\">psychiatric service dog<\/a>, has these legal rights). If a site makes false promises, it\u2019s likely a scam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, US Service Animals was founded by lawyers, so you can feel confident that every step of our ESA letter prescription process is legally valid and that your ESA letter will stand up to any challenge.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ESA Letter Services Comparison<\/h2>\n<p

Questions About ESA Letters<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you still have questions about ESA letters? We cover the most common ones below.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is an Emotional Support Animal (ESA)?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ESA is an animal that has been prescribed to someone living with a mental health disorder. Their purpose is to provide support and comfort through their presence, and since they\u2019re legally necessary, they have more housing rights than a standard companion animal. For more info on what an ESA is and how they can help, you can review US Service Animals\u2019 in-depth <a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/esa-certification-online\">ESA guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Can Prescribe an Emotional Support Animal?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only a licensed mental health professional licensed to practice in the state you reside in can prescribe you an ESA and provide you with an ESA housing letter. In some states, this may have to be an MD; at US Service Animals, we\u2019ll make sure you\u2019re matched with an LHMP who meets your state\u2019s legal requirements.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does an ESA Letter Say?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ESA letter includes the license details of the mental health professional who wrote it, as well as the date of issue. It confirms that you have a qualifying mental or emotional condition and explains how an emotional support animal helps alleviate your symptoms and improve daily life. This ESA paperwork includes your name and the clinician\u2019s recommendation, and may also mention your chosen animal, though that part isn\u2019t required. For more info, check out US Service Animals\u2019 guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/what-does-an-esa-letter-look-like\">what a legit ESA letter looks like<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Get an ESA Letter for My Dog or Cat?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have a dog or a cat that helps you feel comforted and supported, it\u2019s very likely your LMHP will prescribe your animal ESA documentation as long as you qualify. If you work with US Service Animals, we\u2019ll ask about any animals you currently live with and would like to have prescribed as an ESA early in the process to help make things simpler.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Often Do ESA Letters Need to Be Renewed?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ESA letters are typically valid for one year and so will need to be renewed on an annual basis. If you receive your ESA letter through US Service Animals, we\u2019ll send you a reminder each year in plenty of time to renew. For more info, you can check out our in-depth guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/do-esa-letters-expire\">when do ESA letters expire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I Need to Register My ESA or Get an ESA Certification?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legally speaking, you do not need to register your ESA or get an ESA certification for your animal; your ESA prescription letter is all that is legally required. However, registration and certification can offer additional benefits; you can find out more about these in US Service Animals\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/esa-certification-online\">ESA certification guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Type of Animal Can Be an ESA?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While certain animals are more commonly used as ESAs and are naturally suited to offering emotional support can be trained for specific emotional support, such as dogs or cats, any domesticated animal can work as an ESA. The most common emotional support animals are dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, but there are some unique ones out there as well, such as pigs or hedgehogs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Your ESA Need Training?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, your animal is not required to be trained in order to become an emotional support animal. However, landlords are allowed to say no to you living with your ESA if they are destructive or aggressive, so it\u2019s important they are trained to be well-behaved, calm, and quiet. You can explore US Service Animals\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/emotional-support-dog-training\">ESA training guide<\/a> for tips on how to make sure your ESA won\u2019t be disruptive.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the Difference Between an ESA and a Service Animal?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An emotional support animal is any animal prescribed to a person living with a mental health disorder, as their presence can be comforting, while a service animal can only be a dog or miniature horse, and must undergo specific training to help mitigate the symptoms of a diagnosed disability. Both are granted expanding housing rights, but only a service animal has public access rights and is legally allowed to fly with you for free in an airplane\u2019s cabin.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are There States Where I Can\u2019t Get My ESA Letter in 24 Hours?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, there are currently five states that require a 30-day relationship with a licensed mental health professional: California, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, and Montana. US Service Animals will set up multiple appointments with your matched LMHP to ensure this requirement is met.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center mb-3\"><a class=\"btn esal-cta-button\" href=\"#consultation-form\">Fill Out Our ESA Letter Consultation Form Above<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Our Customers Say<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US Service Animals has helped thousands of people get the support they need.
