How the Verification Process Works

From a completed letter to a landlord-facing document check, each step is designed to stay clear and privacy-conscious.

01

Provider Submits Your Letter

After a licensed mental health professional completes and signs an eligible ESA document, it is prepared for delivery and verification.

02

Scan-To-Verify QR Code Is Added

A discrete 12-digit verification number and, where used, a QR code are placed on the document. The supplied specimen shows the intended presentation.

03

You Receive Your Verified Letter

The customer receives the signed letter with its provider details, issue date and verification identifier clearly presented.

04

Landlord Verifies Instantly

When the live verification service is connected, a landlord can scan or enter the 12-digit number to review limited document status. Verification is not an approval decision.

Sample document

What a Verifiable PetHousingRights Letter Looks Like

This specimen is for demonstration only. Its names, dates, identifiers and QR code do not belong to a real person, provider or issued letter.

What to expect on the document

  • The issuing provider’s name, professional credentials and license information shown on the document
  • The provider’s signature and the date the letter was issued
  • A unique 12-digit verification number and, where used, a QR code
  • A statement supporting the disability-related need for the animal without detailed diagnostic information
  • A visible sample notice when the document is illustrative rather than an issued letter

A sample image can show layout and document fields, but it cannot be used to verify a real person, provider, license or clinical assessment.

A limited verification view

What Landlords See

The intended landlord view is limited to information needed to check the document and its issuer. It does not expose detailed clinical information or decide the accommodation request.

Document-check information

  • Whether the verification identifier matches a document record once the service is connected
  • The named provider and professional credentials shown on the letter
  • License information included with the document and the letter’s issue date
  • Document status and the verification identifier used for the check

Live confirmation depends on the verification service being connected. This page does not simulate a successful result, and document verification does not guarantee acceptance under every housing rule.

Privacy by design

What Is Never Disclosed

The verification experience is designed to separate a document-authenticity check from unnecessary sensitive clinical information.

Clinical information stays outside the verification view

  • No complete medical records
  • No therapy notes
  • No exact diagnosis
  • No treatment history or detailed symptom narrative

Only document-check information is presented

  • Provider identity and credentials shown on the letter
  • License metadata included on the document
  • Issue date and verification identifier
  • Limited document status—not an accommodation decision

Privacy obligations depend on the parties and applicable law. This educational summary does not claim that no information is stored or processed.

What Makes a PetHousingRights Letter Verifiable

Each item gives a housing provider a separate document detail to review without turning verification into a clinical record search.

Licensed professional review

Eligible documentation reflects an individual evaluation and signature by an appropriately licensed mental health professional.

Named provider and credentials

The provider’s name, credential and license information appear on the document rather than a generic company signature.

NPI lookup where available

An NPI can be checked in the public CMS NPPES Registry when a provider has one. An NPI record does not itself validate licensure.

Discrete verification QR code

Where used, the QR code accompanies a unique verification number and points to the verification entry experience.

Issuance date on the letter

The date shown on the document helps a housing provider understand when the clinician issued it.

Dedicated verification access

The existing verification form accepts a 12-digit number. A confirmed result depends on the live verification service being connected.

Reasonable-accommodation documentation

A letter can support a housing accommodation request by documenting a disability-related need. Verification confirms document information; it does not guarantee that a particular request must be approved.

Clear support and privacy boundaries

Questions can be directed through PetHousingRights support channels, while the landlord-facing check remains limited to document and provider information rather than unnecessary clinical detail.

Why landlords trust clear documentation

Built on Four Pillars of Verification

A careful clinical process and privacy-conscious verification make documentation easier for residents and housing providers to understand.

Licensed Mental Health Practitioners

Documentation is issued through an individual clinical process by an appropriately licensed mental health professional using independent clinical judgment.

  • Active professional licensure
  • Provider identity and credentials
  • Clinician-signed documentation

Fair Housing Act Compliant

The documentation is structured to support a housing accommodation request without promising automatic approval or replacing individualized review.

  • Disability-related need addressed
  • Housing-focused documentation
  • State requirements considered

Telehealth Clinical Process

A real clinical consultation lets the professional evaluate the person’s circumstances before deciding whether documentation is appropriate.

  • Individual consultation
  • Private evaluation process
  • No instant auto-approval

Scan-to-verify authenticity

Verification details help a housing provider confirm that a document is authentic without exposing a diagnosis or private treatment information.

  • Document authenticity check
  • Provider details confirmed
  • Privacy-conscious verification

Verification should confirm authenticity without disclosing diagnosis, treatment notes or other private clinical information.
