An ESA letter in Illinois comes from a professional who has a therapeutic relationship with you.

Illinois runs no ESA registry. Its Assistance Animal Integrity Act asks for written documentation from someone who knows your disability, and it leaves out anyone who issues a letter without a meaningful assessment. A licensed therapist who is treating you fits that.

People often ask these questions about therapists in Illinois.

Illinois's Assistance Animal Integrity Act (310 ILCS 120) asks for written documentation from someone who has a therapeutic relationship with you, such as a physician, a mental health provider or another professional who knows your disability. It leaves out anyone who issues a letter without a meaningful assessment. The Illinois guide has the details.
