The law has not changed. Agencies that try to convince you that you need certification want your money. It is VERY costly to train a service animal. People (esp businesses or uneducated) will tell you this because they don't want to be bothered by upholding the law. People are so strange.

The ADA defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to a disabled person. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.
