Our History and Work

ESA Registry UK has supported people with hidden disabilities and the animals that provide them with essential emotional support since 2018.

Our work combines registration services, practical guidance, member support, public education and real stories about the difference Emotional Support Animals can make.

Supporting people since 2018

Since its establishment in 2018, ESA Registry UK has helped people document the relationship they have with animals that support their emotional wellbeing and daily lives. The service has grown to support more than 14,000 registrations while continuing to provide direct guidance to members, families, support workers and professionals.

Our work includes registration administration, medical-evidence guidance, housing and travel information, renewal support, replacement documents and secure access to digital records through the ESA Registry App.

The Emotional Support Animals Show

The ESA Show shares original conversations with people whose animals provide emotional support. Guests discuss their own experiences, the relationship they have with their animals and how that support affects everyday life.

Each published episode includes the video, a written description and a searchable transcript, making these lived experiences easier to find and revisit.

Supporters and fundraising partnerships

The following independent projects support ESA Registry UK's work through clearly stated donation arrangements. No running donation total is published on this page.

Our commitment

ESA Registry UK will continue providing practical information, responsible registration services and direct support while explaining clearly what registration does and does not provide. Our aim is to help people communicate the role their animals play without overstating legal recognition or promising automatic access.
