How long does it take to get my letter?

For clients Last reviewed: November 13, 2026

Short answer

Most evaluations are reviewed within 48 hours of submitting your assessment. If you're approved, your signed letter is in your dashboard right away and we email you. In California and Arkansas (for an emotional support dog), and in Louisiana and Montana, state law requires a relationship of at least 30 days with the professional first (Louisiana also requires at least two sessions), so the 48-hour review doesn't apply there; support explains the steps first. Iowa has its own letter rules; contact support first.

The clock starts when you submit your assessment, not when you check out. Finishing the questionnaire soon after checkout is the quickest way to your letter.

What can take longer

  • The professional needs more information. We email you what they need, with a link to update your assessment. The review continues once you add it.
  • California, Arkansas, Louisiana and Montana. In California and Arkansas (for an emotional support dog), and in Louisiana and Montana, state law requires a relationship of at least 30 days with the professional, and Louisiana also requires at least two sessions, so the 48-hour review doesn't apply.
