Get Dot Service Animal Air Transportation Form 2024-2025

You'll need to carry an ID card or valid certificate from the organization that trained or supplied the animal. Service dogs need pre-approval letters from the Animal Reception Center in your destination city. You'll need to travel with the letter and any required health documentation.

On Delta flights, trained service animals are expected to be seated in the floor space below a customer's seat or seated in a customer's lap - they are not permitted to occupy seats. Trained service animals and their associated items travel for free.

Do I have to use Delta FlyReady? You are not required to use Delta FlyReady to verify your international travel documents. However, Delta FlyReady does the work to verify that you have the correct international travel documents for entry to your destination and contributes to a seamless airport experience.

If it is a member of the general public I say “No, she is a service dog.” “Are you a puppy raiser, or are you training that dog?” If your dog is a service dog in training, it is fine to say “Yes.” You don't have to explain that you are training or raising the dog for yourself.

Please be polite, courteous and respectful at all times. Remember that not everyone you encounter will be knowledgeable about Service Dogs, your rights or the ADA. Be prepared to explain what tasks your dog is trained to complete to help manage your disability. You do not need to explain your disability.

Service Dog Access Rights You can easily recognize a service dog if it is wearing a vest or a band. Business owners have the right to request proof that you require a service dog like a letter from a doctor or nurse. Service dogs are focused, calm, but can be vocal when that is part of their assistive work.

For flights booked more than 48 hours before departure, the form must be submitted through the Accessibility Service Request Form within the My Trips section of a Delta reservation. For those booked under 48 hours before departure, it can be provided at the ticket counter or departure gate.

While Delta Air Lines does not require a health certificate for your animal to travel in the cabin or as checked baggage, some States and Countries do require health documents.

You must complete and submit the U.S. DOT Service Animal Air Travel Form prior to your flight attesting to the animal's health, training and behavior. Please download the form below and upload the file in your My Trips opens in new tab page.
