What does an ESA certificate look like?

An ESA certificate might look official, but it’s a way to show that an animal plays an important emotional role in someone’s life. These certificates are often used as symbolic documentation and may be presented alongside a valid ESA letter. 

While every design is a little different, most ESA certificate templates include:

The animal’s name and species (e.g., dog, cat, rabbit)

Handler’s full name

Breed or classification of the animal

Issue date and optional expiration date

Certificate or ID number

Signature (optional)

Disclaimer stating it's for non-legal use (optional)

QR code (optional)
