Handlers are not required to carry identification or certification documents for their Service Animals. While there is no legal need to offer further identification, you will certainly run into people who are simply unaware of these regulations or do not deal with Service Animals on a regular basis. Simply carrying a certificate or having your animal wear identifying gear makes it easier for everyone.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Businesses and entities covered by the ADA, such as restaurants, hotels, and stores, are generally not allowed to ask for proof of certification or training for a Service Animal.
