One flat price, published up front: $149, or $199 with an optional ID card — charged only if you’re approved.
An ESA letter in Illinois should never involve mystery pricing. Here’s exactly what it costs, what the fee covers, and when your card is actually charged.
The fee buys a genuine evaluation — a private phone or video visit with a professional holding an active Illinois license — and, on approval, a signed letter bearing their license details, usually delivered within 10–15 minutes. The ID card add-on is purely optional and carries no legal weight.
From Chicago high-rises and walk-ups to college towns like Champaign, Illinois renters frequently meet strict building pet policies. That market context is exactly why a letter that holds up the first time matters.
The cheapest letter is the one that works the first time. A rejected “instant” certificate means lost application fees, delayed move-ins, and paying twice — a clinically issued letter avoids all of it.
No hidden fees · HIPAA secure · Pay only if approved.
You’re charged only after the evaluation — the card is authorized first, and if the licensed professional doesn’t approve you, no letter fee is taken.
No. Pricing is flat and shown before checkout. The only add-on is $60 per additional animal.
No — renewal is its own evaluation at the same flat rate, usually needed around the one-year mark.
Yes — the pre-screening costs nothing and carries no obligation. Your card is only authorized when you book the evaluation, and only charged if you’re approved.
An extra $50: $199 for the letter plus card versus $149 for the letter alone. Skip it freely — the card has no legal significance.
