A valid Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter must include:

• Name, Sign, and License number.
• Letter issue date.
• License issue date,
• State where the license was issued.
• Your need for an ESA.
• Details of the pet.

An emotional support animal (ESA) is a pet—typically a dog or cat—that provides comfort and emotional stability to individuals with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Unlike service animals, ESAs don’t require special training, but their presence helps reduce emotional distress. To qualify, the person must receive a recommendation from a licensed mental health professional stating the need for the ESA.

To determine your eligibility for an Emotional Support Animal (ESA), you must consult a licensed mental health professional. During this evaluation, the professional will assess whether you have a qualifying mental or emotional disability that substantially limits daily life activities.

Common conditions that may qualify for an ESA letter include:

• Anxiety disorders
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Bipolar disorder
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Agoraphobia
• Epilepsy
• Panic attacks
• Partial blindness or deafness

If diagnosed, your therapist can issue an ESA letter confirming your need for emotional support from an animal.

The process to get an ESA letter from Fast ESA Letter is quick and straightforward:

• Schedule an appointment online with a licensed mental health professional.
• Attend a consultation via audio or video call to discuss your mental health needs.
• If eligible, you’ll receive your official ESA recommendation letter by email.

Note: Residents of Iowa, Montana, California, Louisiana, or Arkansas must complete two consultations and establish a 30-day therapeutic relationship to meet state-specific requirements.

No, you do not need a certificate, license, ID card, or vest for your Emotional Support Animal if you have a valid ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional.

These items are considered optional accessories and carry no legal standing under federal or state ESA laws. You may use them for personal convenience, but they do not grant additional rights or protections.

1. If your landlord rejects your valid ESA letter, follow these steps:
2. Verify that your letter includes the licensed professional’s name, license number, and contact details.
3. Politely inform your landlord about ESA protections under the Fair Housing Act (FHA).
4. If they continue to deny your request, you can file a housing discrimination complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

No, a legitimate ESA letter does not disclose your specific medical diagnosis. It only confirms that you have a mental or emotional disability and that an Emotional Support Animal is part of your treatment plan.

This approach complies with federal privacy laws, allowing you to access housing or accommodations without revealing personal health details.

Yes, you must consult a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) to obtain a valid ESA letter.

Under the Fair Housing Act, only a state-licensed therapist or physician can evaluate your condition and determine if you qualify for an Emotional Support Animal.

In most cases, Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) are no longer allowed to fly for free in the cabin.

Due to changes in the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), airlines are no longer required to accommodate ESAs and may treat them as regular pets. Major carriers like Alaska, JetBlue, Southwest, United, and American Airlines have discontinued ESA acceptance.

No, your employer is not legally required to allow an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) at work.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), only trained service animals are guaranteed access to workplaces. Since ESAs are not trained to perform specific tasks, it’s up to your employer’s discretion whether to allow one as a reasonable accommodation.

No, Emotional Support Animals are not required to undergo specialized training.

Unlike service animals, ESAs are not trained to perform specific tasks. Their role is simply to provide emotional comfort and companionship to individuals with a diagnosed mental or emotional condition. Basic obedience and good behavior in public settings are still recommended.

Yes, it is important to renew your emotional support animal letter annually. You can contact the same licensed professional or go to another professional to renew it. However, if you are struggling to find an LMHP in the state or have lost connection with your existing provider you can apply to Fast ESA Letter. We work with a team of licensed mental health professionals who provide recommendations after a thorough evaluation.

Yes, you can have more than one ESA if recommended by a licensed mental health professional (LMHP). Each ESA must be clearly justified in your evaluation, and in some cases, separate ESA letters may be required. Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), landlords cannot charge extra fees for approved ESAs and cannot impose a strict limit on the number of animals.

Yes, it’s possible, and often recommended to get an ESA letter before adopting your Emotional Support Animal.

The letter is issued to you, not the animal, and confirms your need for an ESA to manage a mental or emotional disability. Having it in advance helps you secure housing approval and ensures legal protection under the Fair Housing Act.
