The reality is you don't need a fake sevice dog permit. There is no standardized permitting agency and the ADA prohibits an establishment from asking about what type of service dog or whether they are "certified". If they do, they are in violation of federal law. The fake vest is to keep nosey people from pointing and gawking. The establishment may ask the patron and service dog to leave if the dog is unruly or unmanageable.
