ESA Letter Online From Licensed Healthcare Providers
At Official Pets, our goal is to make the ESA process clear, supportive, and easy to navigate. It begins with a simple online service request form, followed by timely coordination for an ESA evaluation with an experienced, independent, state-licensed healthcare provider who treat each individual with great care tailoring to their specific needs. Evaluations are conducted remotely and include a phone or video consultation, allowing individuals to connect with a licensed professional in a way that feels comfortable and accessible.
We work exclusively with providers licensed in all 50 U.S. states. Our network has extensive experience supporting individuals through the ESA process and preparing compliant ESA documentation. When clinically appropriate, a provider may issue an ESA letter to support a housing accommodation request. Throughout the process, our client support team is available to answer questions and provide guidance, helping ensure a smooth experience from start to finish. Our commitment to reliability, compassionate support, and efficient turnaround times is reflected in the positive reviews we receive from clients.
ESA Letters and Housing Rights Under the Fair Housing Act
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is an animal that provides comfort, companionship, and emotional support to individuals experiencing qualifying mental or emotional health conditions. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not require specialized task training. Their benefit comes from their presence and the role they play in supporting emotional well-being and daily stability.
A legitimate ESA letter from a licensed provider supports a reasonable housing accommodation request under the Fair Housing Act (FHA). When approved by a housing provider, an ESA letter may allow individuals to request accommodations related to no-pet policies, breed or size restrictions, and pet-related fees or deposits.
When requesting housing accommodations, it’s important to ensure your ESA letter comes from a state-licensed healthcare provider following a legitimate evaluation. Some websites advertise instant approvals or offer letters without an evaluation, which may not meet federal housing standards and can result in accommodation requests being denied by housing providers.
It is important to note that registrations, certifications, or ID cards offered by other websites are not recognized under HUD guidance on assistance animals for housing and do not replace a provider-issued ESA letter. Under the FHA, valid documentation consists of a letter from a state-licensed provider confirming the clinical need for an Emotional Support Animal. While housing providers make final determinations, proper documentation helps ensure accommodation requests are reviewed appropriately under applicable housing laws.

“I want to thank the therapist I was connected with through Official Pets. When my complex announced that pets were no longer allowed, I felt overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do. A friend recommended Official Pets, and I reached out for help. The therapist provided a detailed letter supporting my need for my dogs as emotional support animals and explained why this accommodation was important for my well-being. They handled my situation with urgency and delivered the documentation very quickly. I am now in compliance with my complex’s requirements and am able to keep Winston and Charlie with me as my emotional support animals.”
