The only document you will need is an ESA letter from a therapist or doctor that will make you an ESA owner. Getting an ESA letter is simple and requires only one condition, i.e, your diagnosis of mental health issues. Only an ESA letter provides you with all the necessary permissions and benefits for you as an ESA owner and your pet. A legitimate ESA letter must have the following:

• Official Letterhead
• Name of Licensed Mental Health Professional
• Type of Medical License and animal
• State of therapist’s jurisdiction
• Date of the medical letter and license issue
• Diagnosis of mental health disability recognized by DSM (Disability and Statistical Manual)

However, different states have different laws and some limitations may be present depending on the place of residence or relocation.

An ESA letter is written by an LMHP (licensed mental health professional) that includes their license type, number, and date of their license issue. Importantly, their license must be active at the time of the issue of an ESA letter. Below mentioned are some kind of the mental health professionals that can evaluate your case:
1. Licensed Psychiatrists
2. Licensed Psychologists
3. Primary care Physicians
4. Licensed Mental health counselors
5. Licensed Clinical social workers

The laws of California also demand that the LMHP must have at least a 30-day relationship with the client first before the issue of an ESA letter. You should also maintain constant contact with your therapist and receive treatment accordingly. Here are some other professionals who can write you a letter of prescription for emotional support pets:
1. LMFT (Licensed Medical Family Therapist)
2. LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker)
3. LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor)

• ESA registration/certification – Remember there is no such thing as legitimate emotional support animal registration or certification.
• Instant approval – Not everybody is qualified to have an ESA. You must be diagnosed by a professional therapist or doctor for several visits or sessions Evaluated diagnosis must be recognized by the DSM (Disability and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)
• Cheap letters – Legitimate services cannot be dirt cheap. If you find yourself in a bargain rate for letters without the involvement of professionals, then quit immediately.

Online prescription of emotional support animals is as legit as offline ones. Here are some must-be things on your ESA letter:
1. Mental health professional’s letterhead and signature, as well as the date of issuance
2. Mental health professional’s license type, the date the license was issued, the license number, and the state that issued the license
3. Confirmation that an emotional support animal is a vital part of your life
4. “Prescription” (although not technically a prescription, it is sometimes referred to as an ESA prescription) or recommendation for an ESA
5. Details about your pet (type, breed, name, etc.) are not required but may be included

Technically, an ESA letter does not expire. However, it may be old enough to require an update. According to HUD guidelines and State rules, it may not be useable if it is not up to date. So, the best practice is to keep your ESA letter no older than a year.

Many housing providers and landlords will reject an ESA letter dated over a year back. They will ask the ESA owner to submit a recent ESA letter to prove their need. Under Fair Housing rules, landlords are not allowed to look into the tenant’s medical history or request sensitive details. But, they can verify that the licensed professional did, in fact, recommend an emotional support animal.

The best solution is to contact the healthcare professional that issued your letter for updated documentation. The healthcare professional may require a re-evaluation to determine whether you still qualify for an ESA letter.

Not all mental health providers are comfortable or qualified to write such letters but don’t be afraid to ask them about it. Additionally, it would be best if you had a verifiable disability, and the animal should be necessary to alleviate the symptom of this disability. An emotional support animal is not only a pet; it’s a companion that provides emotional support, comfort and love that can help you to improve your mental well-being. So, if you are considering getting an ESA, don’t hesitate to talk to your mental health provider about it; it may be the best decision you ever make!

The most important thing is that the animal brings emotional support and comfort to you. As long as you can provide proper care for the animal, you can have an ESA that fits your lifestyle and personality. So don’t hesitate to explore different options. You never know. You might find the perfect ESA to lighten your life!
