Do service dogs have to be registered?

Saw an incident tonight where a guy brought a large dog into a bar. Owners told him he could sit outside with the dog but not inside. Guy said it was a service dog and when the owner asked more information the individual got agitated.he never provided documentation that the dog was a service dog nor did the dog have the collar indicating it was a service dog.
owner eventually gave in and let the dog and person stay along with providing them some free drinks, I assume it was because he didn't want to be sued in case it was an actual service dog.

He doesn't have to provide any information about the dog.

No they don't have any certification requirements.

Don't have to say a word. Dog doesn't need to be identified at all. Owner can only ask if it's a service dog and/or what has the dog been trained to do. Other than that, they can't kick the dog out unless it's causing a disturbance

Posted on 7/25/15 at 10:19 pm to ksayetiger

From ada.gov:
2. Q: What is a service animal?
A: The ADA defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.
Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. Guide dogs are one type of service animal, used by some individuals who are blind. This is the type of service animal with which most people are familiar. But there are service animals that assist persons with other kinds of disabilities in their day-to-day activities. Some examples include:
_ Alerting persons with hearing impairments to sounds.
_ Pulling wheelchairs or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments.
_ Assisting persons with mobility impairments with balance.
A service animal is not a pet.
3. Q: How can I tell if an animal is really a service animal and not just a pet?
A: Some, but not all, service animals wear special collars and harnesses. Some, but not all, are licensed or certified and have identification papers. If you are not certain that an animal is a service animal, you may ask the person who has the animal if it is a service animal required because of a disability. However, an individual who is going to a restaurant or theater is not likely to be carrying documentation of his or her medical condition or disability. Therefore, such documentation generally may not be required as a condition for providing service to an individual accompanied by a service animal. Although a number of states have programs to certify service animals, you may not insist on proof of state certification before permitting the service animal to accompany the person with a disability.
*******
The law makes it easy for the disabled to use their service animals without "showing their papers" and such. At the same time, it allows assholes to take advantage of the law and bring their little ankle-biter everywhere on pretense he is a service animal.
People who have fake service animals are about as shitty as someone who would park in a handicap spot.

"When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the person’s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task."

I've gained 2 service dogs from this thread alone

I saw a couple fat lesboz walk into the WW2 museum with a fat Boston terrier mix last weekend with no leash. The workers called them out, and the lezbos broke out some bogus printed piece of paper and said it was a service dog.
I never saw the outcome as we were leaving.
