How Verification Works

Our Service Dog Registry provides a simple way for businesses, landlords, or anyone else to confirm that a dog is registered by its handler.
This verification process is not government-issued — it is a tool to make everyday interactions easier.


🐾 Step 1: Dog Registration

  • Handlers create an account and register their service dog.
  • Each dog profile includes the handler’s name, the dog’s name, and an optional photo.
  • Our team reviews and approves registrations before certificates are issued.

📄 Step 2: Certificate & Wallet Card

  • Once approved, handlers receive:
  • A printable PDF certificate
  • A wallet-sized card for quick reference
  • Both documents include a unique verification code and QR code.

🔎 Step 3: Public Verification

  • Anyone can visit our Verify Page: Verify a Service Dog
  • Enter the dog’s unique code OR scan the QR code on the certificate/card.
  • The verification page will show:
  • Dog’s name
  • Handler’s name (if the handler made it public)
  • Photo of the dog (if uploaded and allowed)
  • Status: Approved, Pending, or Expired

✅ Why This Matters

  • Handlers: Avoid repeated arguments when questioned about your service dog.
  • Businesses: Quickly confirm without prying into private medical information.
  • Landlords: Reduce confusion about housing laws and service animal status.

⚖️ Legal Reminder

Under the ADA, businesses may not require documentation or certification for a service dog.
Our registry is a voluntary tool created to reduce conflict and provide peace of mind — it is not a legal requirement.
