ESA Card
Issued 07/22/2026
Your registration is a convenience credential, not a legal document. What a housing provider will ask for is a letter from a licensed healthcare provider, and we do not sell those.
Sample certificate.
Your pet's own registration number is issued at checkout. About 3 minutes, $39$59$79$99 once.
Where to get one
Where can I get an ESA ID card?
Three places people look. One of them issues the card.
A registry, like ESA Card
Where ID cards come from
Your pet's photo, name and a registration number anyone can check at esacard.com/verify. About 3 minutes, $39$59$79$99 once.
Your therapist or doctor
Writes the letter, not the card
A licensed clinician writes the ESA letter a landlord can ask for. Keep it in the same folder as the card.
A government agency
None issues one
HUD and the states keep no emotional support animal list, which is why every ID card is issued by a private registry.
The letter is the law. The card is for your wallet.
Before you pick one
What to look for in an ESA ID card
Six things a good card and a good registry have. Ours has all six.
- Your pet's photo on the card, so it names one animal at a glance.
- A registration number anyone can check online, free and with no account.
- The price on the page before you type a thing. Some registries show theirs only at the last step.
- No seals, crests or "federal" badges, which no registry can honestly print.
- Free reprints, and a free fix if a detail comes out misspelled.
- A money-back guarantee you can read before you pay.
Three steps
How to get your pet's ESA ID card
No appointment, and nothing for your pet to pass.
- 1
Tell us about your pet
Your pet's name, breed and birthday, a photo for the card, then your name, your city and the email the card should go to.
- 2
Pay $39$59$79$99 once
Your pet's registration number is created at checkout and printed on the card before it is sent.
- 3
Print it and carry it
The card is emailed the moment you pay, with your certificate. It trims along its crop marks to credit-card size, and anyone can check the number at esacard.com/verify.
The price
What it costs: $39$59$79$99, once
One payment for the card, the certificate and the verification listing together. Your verification listing is included for the first 12 months. After that, a yearly renewal keeps it listed at $1.67 / month (billed annually). It switches on when you buy and charges nothing until your 12 months are up. Cancel any time, or make the listing lifetime with one payment instead.
- The wallet ESA Card at true credit-card size, with your pet's photo.
- Your pet's Certificate of Registration, laid out for your paper size.
- A registration number listed on our public verification page, included for the first 12 months.
- Reprints, and reissues after a typo, at no charge.
- A 30-day money-back guarantee.

The ESA Card Promise
Love it or refunded, no questions.
30 days, no questions, no restocking games, no admin fees. If it isn't what you hoped, you get every penny of your registration back. The Complete Kit's printed card and certificate are made to order for your animal, so they are yours to keep either way.
Your registration is verifiable.
Every kit gets a number that anyone can check on our verification page. Refunded registrations show as inactive, so the credential always tells the truth.
Renewal terms before you pay, never sprung on you.
The kit is one payment, and your verification listing is included for the first 12 months. A yearly renewal keeps it listed after that: it switches on when you buy, at the price shown on the order screen and beside the pay button, and nothing is charged for it until the 12 months are up. Cancel any time from your kit page.
