Questions, answered
Frequently Asked Questions.
We believe it should be easy to understand exactly what a private registry can—and cannot—do.
What is Canadian Service Dogs?
Canadian Service Dogs is a private, voluntary online registry. It gives you a place to organize a personal registry profile and receive a digital reference pass for the information you choose to include.
Is registration required in Canada?
No. Registration with Canadian Service Dogs is optional. This service does not determine a dog’s legal status or create service-dog access rights. Requirements can vary by province, territory, and setting.
Is the digital pass government-issued identification?
No. The pass is a private registry record, not government-issued identification, legal certification, proof of disability, proof of training, or a substitute for documentation that may be required in a particular setting.
What is included after registration?
Registration includes a private profile, a digital pass, and a printable registry record. Physical cards and gear are optional items, offered separately when available.
