We encourage you to renew online.
If you are less than 18, please see about either your instruction permit or your provisional license.
If you are turning 21, your license will expire 90 days after your birthday and you will need to renew your license AFTER your 21st birthday. Your new license will switch to a horizontal format instead of vertical and will no longer have age related restrictions. To obtain the new license you must take an alcohol awareness test at your local DMV office.
If you're out of state upon turning 21, you must complete the Alcohol Awareness test to renew your license online. You may take the test online at https://k2do-ak.iti4dmv.com/at-home/Welcome.
After taking the test, please inform us by sending an email to doa.dmv.ads@alaska.gov, so we can update your record accordingly.
Once we inform you that your test completion has been recorded, you will be eligible to renew your license online here.
**Remember, online renewal is only available after your 21st birthday!
You may renew your license through the mail, please read the renewal section of our Guide to Rural Driving Information.
