Verify a team
Enter a team number to confirm that a dog and handler completed this program, when, and whether the team’s status is current.
This is not a service dog registry. No such thing exists in United States law. No agency registers, certifies or licenses service dogs, and no business, landlord, carrier or airline may require a handler to produce a registration, certificate or ID — from us or from anyone.
“A public accommodation shall not require documentation, such as proof that the animal has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal.”
28 CFR 36.302(c)(6) · same rule for government entities at 28 CFR 35.136(f)
What this page confirms is narrower: that a specific team trained here. That matters where a program’s own certificate does carry weight — VA recognition under 38 CFR 17.148(c)(1), Canadian carriers under the ATPDR, and Mexican law, which defines a service animal by its certification.
- Lost your team number
- Write to us through the contact page and we will confirm it to the handler of record. We do not confirm team numbers to third parties.
- A status looks wrong
- Statuses change when a dog retires, a team withdraws, or a dog can no longer perform its tasks. The handler of record can ask us to correct it.
- Privacy
- We never publish a handler’s name, address or medical information. The file behind this lookup holds only a fingerprint of each team number, so valid numbers cannot be read out of it.
