Teams from Accredited Schools - Application for a Guide or Service Dog Certificate - New or Renewal
Guide and service dog teams that have completed programs at schools accredited by ADI or IGDF no longer need to make a formal application for a certificate from the GDSDA Registrar to receive the protections under the legislation.
Guide and service dog teams holding valid ID cards from accredited training schools may still choose to apply for the GDSDA certificate.
Use this form if your dog was trained by Assistance Dogs International or International Guide Dog Federation accredited schools and you are applying for or renewing a service dog certification.

Use this form if your dog was not trained by Assistance Dogs International or International Guide Dog Federation accredited schools and you are applying for or renewing a service dog certification.
