Get ESA Letter Online

We provide real evaluations by licensed mental health clinicians. Letter mills offer 'letters' for $50 with no real evaluation. These are increasingly rejected by landlords and have damaged the legitimacy of the ESA system. Our letters are accepted because they come from real licensed providers.

Generally no longer. FAA rule changes in 2021 eliminated ESA accommodation on airlines. Most airlines now treat ESAs as regular pets. For travel, a psychiatric service dog (PSD) — which requires task training — has different accommodations.

Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords cannot legally reject a legitimate ESA letter for a qualifying disability. Letters from licensed clinicians via HealifyNow are generally accepted nationwide. If a landlord questions a letter, your clinician can speak with them.

You need a qualifying mental health condition; you don't necessarily need active treatment. Many members with stable conditions qualify. Your clinician will assess.

The letter can cover one or multiple animals if clinically appropriate. Discuss with your clinician during the evaluation.

Most landlords accept letters dated within the past 12 months. Annual renewal is straightforward.

If you don't have a qualifying mental health condition, the clinician won't issue the letter. We don't rubber-stamp. This protects you, the system, and the disability community.

No. An ESA letter is different from psychiatric service dog (PSD) documentation. PSDs require task-trained animals and have public access rights under the ADA. ESAs do not.

{ "Book for free, complete a short questionnaire, and meet a licensed mental health professional by secure telehealth. If an emotional support animal is appropriate, your signed letter arrives by email." }

{ "An ESA letter is $129 for up to 2 pets or $199 for 3 or more pets. A PSD letter is $149 for up to 2 dogs or $229 for up to 3. You only pay if approved." }

{ "Yes, when it comes from a licensed mental health professional who actually evaluated you. Instant letters, registrations and ID cards are not the same thing." }

{ "No. Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords can't charge pet rent or pet deposits for an assistance animal, though you're still responsible for any damage." }

{ "Most common household animals, such as dogs, cats, rabbits and birds, can be emotional support animals. Unlike service dogs, they need no task training." }

{ "No. There is no official ESA registry. Housing providers may ask for a letter from a licensed professional, not a registration or certificate." }

{ "An ESA provides comfort by its presence and is protected mainly in housing. A psychiatric service dog is trained to perform tasks and is also protected in public places." }
