Pricing

Four ways to buy, all of them one-off: the certificate, a letter for your landlord, both together, or the certificate as a gift. An entry is current for 18 months and then simply expires. No subscription, no stored card, and no extras added to your basket on the way out. Prices are in US dollars.

New to the term? What an emotional support animal is, and what this register records

The register card and the letter-size certificate as they arrive. A real register number takes the place of the dots.
