How to Get an ESA Letter in Indiana Online
Obtaining an ESA letter in Indiana requires a live consultation with a mental health professional with a current Indiana license. They have the authority to decide whether you qualify for an emotional support animal and can write you a valid ESA letter.
With advances in modern technology, this process is now possible online – and easier than ever! By booking an appointment through a telehealth service such as Pettable, you can meet with a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) without even leaving your home.
Emotional Support Animal Laws in Indiana
While there are federal laws that support ESAs in your home, Indiana has no state-specific laws regarding assistance animals. Although service dogs benefit from the Americans with Disabilities Act and Air Carrier Access Law, ESAs are only protected by the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This law prohibits discrimination against disabled individuals in rental housing and house buying. The FHA allows residents renting apartments, condos, and multi-family homes to have one or more ESAs in their homes, regardless of any “no-pet” policies. It’s the only law that protects this type of assistance animal in Indiana.
It's important to keep in mind that misrepresenting an emotional support animal or misrepresenting a disability to obtain an ESA, is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 in Indiana. For this reason, it’s essential to have all the necessary documentation to prove that your assistance animal is legitimate.
Benefits of an ESA Letter in Indiana
Residents of the Hoosier State can get many benefits out of having an emotional support animal (ESA) letter for their assistance animal, including:
- Guarantee of housing rights
- Exemption from pet fees, deposits, and rent increases
- Exemption from pet restrictions
- Holding an irrefutable official document
Emotional Support Animal Registration in Indiana is Not Required
Another unnecessary product that some companies peddle is ESA registration, whether on an independent list or a false government registry. There are no such required registries in Indiana — or the other 49 states, for that matter. Some untrustworthy companies try to sell uninformed patients on this type of illegitimate offering, which will not guarantee your housing rights under the FHA. Only a legit ESA letter affirms those rights, so don’t waste your money on something you don’t need.

Who Qualifies for an ESA in Indiana?
If you are living with mental health struggles, you probably qualify for an ESA in the state of Indiana. However, the only way to find out is to have an in-person or online consultation with a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) who practices in the Hoosier State.
Qualifying conditions include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Schizophrenia
- Phobias
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Autistic spectrum disorder
- Substance use disorders

Benefits of Emotional Support Animals for Indiana Residents
Indiana residents who live with mental health disorders can find a wide array of benefits from having an ESA in their lives. Significant benefits include:
Provide Mental and Emotional Support
Anyone living with mental or emotional struggles benefits from external support, and ESAs can significantly help animal lovers. They offer comfort and companionship that encourage their owners to break free from some symptoms of their disorder, as well as the confidence to go forward effectively.
Ease the Symptoms of Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression can overtake an individual, preventing them from leading a fully functional life. With the introduction of an ESA into their life, many symptoms of these disorders can be soothed and alleviated by the affection or attention of their assistance animal. ESAs can also give their owners invaluable companionship that helps cure loneliness.
Create a Healthy Daily Routine
With the addition of an ESA in your home, you will also gain numerous responsibilities to care for your assistance animal. Your ESA’s needs help create a steady and healthy routine, motivating you to get out of bed or off the couch and to care for both your animal and yourself. A consistent routine promotes physical activity, mental acuity, and mood enhancement, and endows you with the courage to carry on and thrive. You will also create an indelible bond between you and your assistance animal that benefits both you and your ESA.
Psychiatric Service Dog Training in Indiana
If you have a canine companion you want to promote to an assistance animal, getting them trained as a psychiatric service dog (PSD) can enjoy even more benefits and rights. The ADA allows PSDs to accompany their owners in public accommodations, such as restaurants, shopping centers, government buildings, and more. To enable these enhanced rights, explore Pettable’s online PSD training program. Our expert trainers will guide you through the entire process, so you can teach them to provide specialized tasks to help your mental health disorder. Contact Pettable today to get started!

Frequently Asked Questions
Emotional Support Animal Overview
An emotional support animal provides comfort to help relieve a symptom or effect related to a person's disability. Also, there is no animal or breed restrictions for ESA's as long as it is reasonable and justified.
Note that being an emotional support animal is not the same as being a service animal (like seeing-eye dogs). These types of animals have stricter criteria that must be met, including different forms of training such as obedience, public access and disability training. These additional trainings are necessary since service dogs have public access and travel rights, unlike emotional support animals who are only protected under housing rights.
ESA's do not have public access or travel rights, so it's best to check with individual business guidelines to see if they allow ESA's. Additionally, you can train your dog to become a PSD (psychiatric service dog) in order to have public access and travel rights.
The general criteria is to have some emotional or psychological condition that is improved by having an animal that provides support. Conditions may include depression, generalized anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, and others. And remember, Emotional Support Animals do not require special training!
Only a licensed mental health professional is qualified to determine if you meet the criteria. Through our service, you can speak directly with a qualified mental health professional in the state where you reside. Pettable connects you with a licensed mental health professional for a consultation to determine if you qualify for an ESA. Unlike, some less legitimate services, we do not provide letters for fee, but instead we connect you to a professional for an honest evaluation.
Step 1: Once payment is submitted and your appointment is scheduled through our website, you will receive an email to activate your account.
Step 2: Once your account is activated, the process will prompt you to fill out the required forms to give more information to your clinician before your scheduled appointment.
Step 3: Your assigned clinician will call you at your scheduled appointment time and will let you know if you have qualified. If you've qualified, your clinician will upload your letter in your portal for you to view and print.
If for any reason you are not approved we will refund your entire purchase.

Absolutely! There is research and data that support the theory that animals provide substantial and measurable emotional support. If you're thinking about the benefits of an emotional support animal, you can learn more by researching online or talking to qualified mental health professionals in our network.
Our ESA letters contain the following:
- The official letterhead of the mental health professional.
- Their business, contact information, and signature.
- Their license information which allows anyone to check the status of their license.
- Their confirmation that you meet the definition of a disability and recommendation for an emotional support animal.
The Fair Housing Act requires housing providers such as landlords or management companies to allow the possession of animals that work, provide assistance for, or perform tasks that benefit individuals with qualified medical disabilities – or that provide emotional support to individuals to reduce a symptom or effect of a disability.
The Fair Housing Act also requires individuals, who wish to possess a service or support animal, to follow specific criteria relevant to the type of support needed.
For an emotional support animal, the individual has to speak with a licensed mental health professional in the state they reside and receive a prescription of an ESA Letter in order to qualify.
Although the Fair Housing Act and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development does not specify guidance around the issue of ESA letter expiration, we recommend that you renew your ESA letter annually for a few reasons:
- Landlords or property managers may refuse to accept an ESA letter that is expired. Renewing your letter enables you to provide current documentation that verifies your need for an emotional support animal as still relevant.
- Clinicians may not validate an ESA letter that is expired in the event a landlord or property manager reaches out to verify. An annual consultation with a clinician to discuss your needs for an ESA letter is advised in order to keep licensed professional recommendations current.
Renewing your letter is easy through our seamless consultation process.
Federal and state laws require a live consultation over the phone, video, or in person to properly vet and qualify an individual to warrant an ESA Letter.
To ensure our ESA letter are compliant, all of our consultations are conducted live over the phone in order to meet the legal standards set forth and assure the validity of your letter.
Yes. Federal and state laws require a live consultation over the phone, video, or in person to properly vet and qualify an individual to warrant an ESA Letter. Since the letter grants privileges about keeping a pet in a place that otherwise would not allow it, base guidelines must be met to qualify.
Yes. An emotional support animal can be any breed or species as long as it supports an emotional or psychological condition.
Since emotional support animals do not require any training, your childhood pet or newly adopted animal can qualify.
Yes, you can register multiple pets on the same ESA letter. At Pettable we can accommodate up to two pets per letter for no additional charge.
According to the American Disabilities Act your request for multiple animals must be "reasonable".
An example of an unreasonable request is if you want four great danes registered as ESAs and you live in a tiny apartment.
In order to make sure we're meeting the standard of "reasonable" Pettable is able to accommodate up to two pets per letter as long as you meet the criteria to warrant an ESA letter.
At the end of the day it is a judgement call but we want to make sure that you are covered in any situation you're in, which is why we've set this policy.
Once you have a proper ESA Letter, your landlord is required by the Fair Housing Act to allow you to keep your designated emotional support animal with you at your place of residence.
Sometimes landlords create barriers for individuals in attempt to refrain from accommodating legitimate ESA's. If this occurs please reach out to your assigned mental health professional to validate or assist in verifying your legitimate ESA letter.
The most common type of fraud we've seen are in particular sites that claim to certify service animals (different from emotional support animals) without requiring any formal testing or accreditation typical for that process. The US has cracked down on these forms of fraud. Now they will enact hefty fines – or even jail time – for caught offenders.
These are the clues you should be on the lookout for to spot a scam: The service does NOT require you to speak with someone live over the phone – All legitimate ESA Letter providers are required by law to ensure that you speak with a licensed mental health professional over the phone or video. If a service asks you to answer questions using a quiz or "exam" but doesn't ask you to schedule a live consultation afterwards, it is probably a scam. Pettable is not a purchase-diagnosis website, but instead refers you to a licensed professional who conducts a live evaluation and provides a legitimate ESA letter per their professional discretion.
