What are service animals?
Service Animals are animals that have been trained to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities. Service Animals may also be referred to as “assistance animals,” “assist animals,” “support animals,” or “helper animals”
In the United States, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a Service Animal as “any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.” Besides the ADA, Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals are also addressed in other Federal statutes, including the Rehabilitation Act, Fair Housing Act (FHA), and the Air Carriers Access Act (ACAA).
While registration is not mandatory under law, many owners of Emotional Support Animals and Service Animals find it helpful to register their animal as an additional way to designate their animal’s special status. Many landlords and business owners request to see registration paperwork, and even though such paperwork is not required under law, it is often easier to provide the requester with a registration document rather than argue the point or attempt to educate the person.
Why is registering my Service Animal or Emotional Support Animal with the Service Animal Registry of California the BEST choice? Can it be used in non-California states?
NATION-WIDE VALIDITY IN 50 STATES
Your Service Animal Registry of California registration certificate is valid in all 50 states in the U.S.A. Just like a driver’s license issued in one state yet recognized in other states, you can use your Service Animal Registry of California registration certificate outside of California by asking landlords and business owners to honor your animal’s status when traveling or living out of state.
LIFETIME REGISTRATION
Second, unlike many of the other registries, registration is a LIFETIME registration. With the Service Animal Registry of California, the Service Animal is registered for the LIFE of that Service Animal, unlike the registries which require annual or monthly renewals. And as a special added BONUS, you may register up to TWO Service Animals under each registration (for the same disabled handler), saving you money if you have two Service Animals.
NO REQUIRED “MERCHANDISE”
Many registries require that you purchase various harnesses, buttons, cards, vests, patches, tags, educational handouts, collars and other unnecessary accessories in order to register your service animal, increasing your cost and forcing you to purchase unwanted merchandise. NONE of these accessories are required under law, and you are NOT required to purchase a single accessory with your Service Animal Registry of California registration. If you want to purchase such accessories, we provide links to these OPTIONAL retail items.
