National Service Animal Registry (NSAR)
The National Service Animal Registry (NSAR) is an organization that provides a voluntary registration service for service animals, including emotional support animals. While it does not provide legal certification, NSAR offers identification and resources to help individuals with disabilities better navigate the laws concerning service animals. Registration can help facilitate access in public spaces, promote awareness, and protect the rights of individuals who rely on these animals for support. It's important to note that actual service animals have specific legal definitions under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which does not recognize emotional support animals in the same way.
