Elements of a Legitimate ESA Letter

Emotional Support Animal TENNESSEE

While writing an ESA certification, a licensed mental health professional must consider these few points:

• The doctor should write an ESA letter on their letterhead because a recommendation on official letterhead is required.
• The doctor's clinic, not the online company, must be mentioned in the referral.
• On the ESA certificate they are delivering, the doctor must provide their name and signature.
• The letterhead is required to consist of the date on which it was issued.
• The doctor's licensee number and issue date. Also necessary is the current state of practice.
• The pet that will be certified as an emotional support animal, as well as the patient's need for ESA, must be specified in the letter.
