Alaska — Reinstatement Guide
Alaska Driver's License Reinstatement
Most people have more than one reason their Alaska license is on hold and don't know it. This page walks the common reasons, what each requires per Alaska's published process, and the order the state expects them in. The roadmap itself is free.
DUI-Specific Path
Suspended after a DUI?
We have a Alaska-specific page for the administrative road back once the DUI case is resolved — required program, interlock if applicable, financial-responsibility filing, fees.
See the Alaska DUI reinstatement road back →Common Reasons a Alaska License Is Suspended
Each reason has its own requirements, fee, and order in the state's process. If more than one applies to you, they have to be cleared in the right sequence — that's what the free roadmap does.
Type A1
Lapse in insurance / SR-22 required
If your insurance lapsed, the state suspends your driving privileges until you re-establish coverage and (in most states) file an SR-22 financial-responsibility certificate.
What Alaska requires: obtain coverage → insurer files SR-22 (dated within 30 days) → submit D1 application → vision test → written test if suspended >1 yr → road test if revoked >5 yr → pay reinstatement fee.
State reinstatement fee: $100 (paid directly to AK DMV)
Type A2
Failure to appear or failure to pay a ticket
If you missed a court date or didn't resolve a citation, the court notifies the state and your license is held until the underlying matter is cleared with the court.
What Alaska requires: for child-support: contact CSSD (1-800-478-3300) first to satisfy obligation → CSSD clears → submit D1 → vision test → written test if expired >1 yr → road test if revoked >5 yr → pay fee. (AK does not surface a separate generic-FTA reinstatement script on the primary reinstate page — child-support is the named non-DUI court-coordination path.)
State reinstatement fee: $100 (paid directly to AK DMV)
Type A3
Points / accumulated violations
Multiple moving violations within the state's lookback window can trigger a points-based suspension that requires waiting out the suspension period and clearing reinstatement requirements.
What Alaska requires: serve suspension → submit D1 → SR-22 (≤30 days old) → vision test → written test if cancelled >1 yr OR 3rd suspension in 2 yrs → road test if revoked >5 yr → pay fee.
State reinstatement fee: $100 (paid directly to AK DMV)
Type B-DUI-ADMIN
DUI administrative suspension
An administrative-license-revocation suspension (separate from any criminal court case) is handled through the state's reinstatement process — the criminal case itself is for an attorney, not for us.
What Alaska requires: ALS (admin review **7-day** window post-arrest, revoke 8th day) → serve revocation (6 mo, 1st) → complete **ASAP** (Alcohol Safety Action Program) → SR-22 (≤30 days old) → IID if court-ordered → submit D1 + ASAP certificate → vision/written tests → pay fee. Limited license available via **Form 404e** with $100 app fee.
State reinstatement fee: $200–$500 (paid directly to AK DMV)

Or have us prepare your packet
Packet preparation isn't live for Alaska yet — the free roadmap is still available now. We'll surface the prepared packet here when it opens.
Every requirement, fee, and link on this page comes from Alaska's own published process. Where Alaska hasn't published a value at primary source, we leave it out rather than guess — the free roadmap carries the citations behind each step. Requirements can change; always confirm current requirements with the state before submitting.
