Reply to comment by GuestExisting4639 in In Missouri can a landlord request/demand proof of a service animals credentials? by EdBlake1986

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.

They can’t ask for a certification without asking about a disability

Under the ADA, housing providers are permitted to ask only two (2) questions inquiring into the status of an animal:

Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

Note, they aren't allowed to ask about specifics on the disability just if it's because of a disability.

This!!! The only correct answer regarding questioning a service animal owner. That is the only proof the owner needs and you cannot question or request further than that.
