Description
The base service dog registration. Add only what you need.
A service dog is a task-trained working dog under the Americans with Disabilities Act — trained to perform specific work that mitigates a handler’s disability. The disability can be physical, sensory, intellectual, or psychiatric; what makes the dog a service dog is the task training, not the diagnosis. Same legal posture as a guide dog or mobility-assist dog: full public access rights under the ADA, ACAA cabin travel, FHA housing protections.
This product is the base service dog registration. It exists for handlers who want a clean starting point — no padded tier, no “introductory” pricing that bumps up later. Fill in your dog’s details, upload a photo, sign, pay. Done in about five minutes.
What’s included (Year 1 — $59.98)
- Digital Animal Photo ID — a downloadable branded ID image with your dog’s photo, name, registration number, and a scannable QR linking to your public verification page.
- 365 days of active registration — your
/verify/?reg=…page reads Active for one full year from purchase. - 24/7 online verification portal — landlords, gate agents, and businesses can confirm your registration any time of day.
- Instant registration — your record is live the moment payment clears. No waiting.
What happens in Year 2 and beyond
Renews automatically at a flat $29.99/yr — same number every year, no escalation. Stripe charges the card on file on the anniversary; we email 30 days before so it’s never a surprise. Cancel anytime from your account dashboard — cancelling before the renewal keeps your registration active through the remaining term but stops future charges.

What this registration is and isn’t
A USAR registration is a documentation product, not a legal status. Service dog public-access rights under the ADA come from your dog’s task training for a disability — not from any tag, vest, certificate, or registry (no national service dog registry exists, ours included). What this registration does is give you a verifiable ID, a public verification page, and paperwork in the format housing providers, businesses, and airlines expect. It’s the paperwork side, not the law side.
