! General Information 
APPLICATION PROCESSING: 
The average time to process a paper application varies by program, but can take several weeks from the date it is received in this office, complete with all 
correct forms, supporting documents and appropriate fees paid. If the application is incomplete, the applicant will be notified of the incomplete and/or incorrect 
documents and fees. When the application is complete and correct and all supporting documents have been received and all fees have been paid the license 
will be issued and sent to you with a cover letter about Alaska statutory requirements. If the application is not approved for licensure, a written explanation of 
the basis of that denial and information on how to appeal the decision will be provided. Start the process far enough in advance to allow for processing time. 
Applications are reviewed in order of receipt in our office, and walk-in customers should not expect immediate review.  
LICENSE TERM:  
There is no “inactive” status. If you choose not to renew your license, it will lapse. Licenses are issued for a two-year period and expire on September 30 of 
even-numbered years, regardless of the date of issuance, except licenses issued within 90 days of the expiration date are issued to the next biennial 
expiration date. One renewal notice will be mailed at least 30 days before license expiration to the last known address of record. If your program offers 
temporary licenses, they are issued for either 30 consecutive days or until the end of the calendar year, whichever period is shorter. 
“YES” RESPONSES: 
A “Yes” response in the application does not mean your application will be denied. If you have responded “Yes” to any professional fitness questions in the 
application, be sure to submit a signed and dated explanation, and both charging and closing court documentation. 
DENIAL OF APPLICATION: 
Please be aware that the denial of an application of licensure may be reported to any person, professional licensing board, federal, state, or local 
governmental agency, or other entity making a relevant inquiry or as may be required by law. 
RANDOM AUDIT: 
If your program requires continuing education, the Division will audit a percentage of the license renewals. If your license is randomly selected for audit, you 
will be sent a letter and required to submit copies of documentation and proof that you satisfied the continuing competency requirements as you stated on this 
renewal form.  Please note that licensees are randomly selected by computer and may be randomly selected as often as the computer program chooses. You 
must save your documents for at least four years so you can respond to audits. 
ADDRESS OR NAME CHANGE:  
In accordance with 12 AAC 02.900, it is the applicant's/licensee's responsibility to notify the Division, in writing, of changes of address or name. Name and 
address change notification forms are available on the Division’s website. The address of record with the Division will be used to send renewals and all other 
official notifications and correspondence. The name appearing on the license must be your current legal name. 
CERTIFIED TRUE COPIES:   
If any of the required documents will be issued under a former name, indicate on the application and submit marriage license and/or court documents that are 
notarized as a “certified true copy of the original document”. To obtain a certified true copy, you must present the notary with the original document along with 
the photocopy. You must write, “I certify this is a true copy of the original document” and sign your name. The notary will compare the original document with 
the copy and then notarize your signature. 
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS:  
AS 08.01.060 and 08.01.100 require that a U.S. Social Security Number be on file with the Division before a professional license is issued or renewed for an 
individual. If you do not have a U.S. Social Security Number, please complete the Request for Exception from Social Security Number Requirement form 
located at ProfessionalLicense.Alaska.gov or contact the Division for a copy of the form. 
SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EXAMINATION: 
Programs under the jurisdiction of the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing are administered in accordance with the Americans with 
Disabilities Act. If you require a special accommodation when taking the licensing examination, you must submit an Application for Examination 
Accommodations for Candidates with Disabilities form (08-4214). 
PUBLIC INFORMATION: 
Please be aware that all information on the application form will be available to the public, unless required to be kept confidential by state or federal law. 
Information about current licensees, including mailing addresses, is available on the Division’s website at ProfessionalLicense.Alaska.gov under License 
Search. 
ABANDONED APPLICATIONS:  
Under 12 AAC 02.910, an application is considered abandoned when 12 months have elapsed since correspondence was last received from or on behalf of 
the applicant. An abandoned application is denied without prejudice. At the time of abandonment, the Division will send notification to the last known address 
of the applicant, who has 30 days to submit a written request for a refund of biennial license and other fees paid. The application fee will not be refunded. If no 
request for refund is received within that timeframe, no refund will be issued and all fees will be forfeited. 
PAYMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT AND STUDENT LOANS:  
If the Alaska Child Support Enforcement Division has determined that you are in arrears on child support, or if the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary 
Education has determined you are in loan default, you may be issued a nonrenewable temporary license valid for 150 days. Contact Child Support Services at 
(907) 269-6900, or the Postsecondary Education office at (907) 465-2962 or (800) 441-2962 to resolve payment issues.
BUSINESS LICENSES: 
The status of a professional license will directly impact the status of an associated business license. Renewal applications for business licenses are mailed 
separately. For more information about business licenses, call (907) 465-2550 or online at:  BusinessLicense.Alaska.gov
