Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) do not have a unified legal status across the European Union, and their recognition varies by country. Unlike service animals, which are legally protected under disability rights laws, ESAs do not have automatic access to public places, workplaces, or housing. However, some EU member states allow accommodations for ESA owners under existing disability legislation, particularly in cases where an ESA provides essential emotional or psychological support.
In certain situations, landlords may permit ESAs in rental properties with pet restrictions, and some employers may consider allowing ESAs in the workplace as a reasonable adjustment for conditions like anxiety or PTSD. Travel policies also differ between airlines and transport providers, with some offering accommodations for ESAs when supported by appropriate documentation. Since legal protections vary, having ESA documentation can help explain why you need reasonable adjustments.
ESA Registry EU provides Emotional Support Animal (ESA) membership across all European Union (EU) member states, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Austria, Poland, Greece, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Luxembourg, and Malta.
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) provides companionship and emotional well-being to individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Unlike service animals, ESAs do not require specialised training but play a vital role in reducing anxiety, stress, and depression.
There is no official government registry for Emotional Support Animals in the EU. However, you can register your ESA with our private ESA Registry for Europe. This provides you with an ESA ID card, membership certificate, support letter, and digital copies, which can help when requesting accommodations in housing, travel, and other settings.
Registering your ESA can help provide documentation to support requests for housing, workplace, and travel accommodations. It can also help raise awareness and promote ESA recognition across Europe, making it easier to explain your companion’s role in supporting your mental well-being.
Your ESA registration includes:
ESA travel policies depend on the airline or transport provider. Some EU airlines and rail operators may allow ESAs, but requirements vary. Having an ESA travel letter can help when requesting accommodations, but it’s important to check the policies of the airline or travel company before booking.
Our ESA registration membership includes all essential documents and is available for just €75.
Your ESA registration is valid for 12 months. After this period, you can renew your membership to continue accessing benefits and updated documents.
We provide digital copies of all ESA documents immediately after registration. Physical copies, including your ESA ID card and certificate, are shipped via tracked delivery.
No, ESA registration is not legally required. However, having official ESA documentation can help support accommodation requests in housing, travel, and workplace settings where ESA recognition is considered on a case-by-case basis.
Yes, any domesticated animal that provides emotional support can be an ESA. Common ESAs include dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. However, acceptance of specific animal types may depend on the accommodation, travel provider, or housing regulations in your country.
