REGISTRATION FOR SENIORS

As an Alaska resident 65 or older, you may be exempt from fees and taxes when registering one vehicle.  If the vehicle meets the following criteria:

• Must be a passenger vehicle, motorhome, van, pick-up truck, motorcycle or trailers
• May not be a commercial vehicle
• Must be titled your name
• If in a Trust, the applicant must be listed also as a co-owner

Please Note: You can only get one exemption for one vehicle. Even if you qualify for a senior, disability, and disabled veteran exemption, you can still only have one vehicle exempt.

How to Apply

You may apply online here for vehicles already titled and/or registered in Alaska in your name.

You will need to submit the following:

• Senior Exemption Application Include your Alaska Driver License Number on the application
  • For verification of age and eligibility
    • if you have a license in another state, you are not eligible

May I move the exemption to another vehicle?

To claim another vehicle as exempt you must:

• Report the sale of the vehicle through Notice of Sale Pending.
• If the vehicle was totaled, either you or the insurance company must surrender the title to the DMV
• Surrender the registration and plate from the vehicle

If you sell the vehicle, the new owner must pay full registration fees upon transfer of title.
