How to Replace Your Alaska Driver's License: Step-by-Step
Report theft if applicable
If your Alaska license was stolen, consider filing a police report — especially if you are concerned about identity theft. A report can also help if the license is used fraudulently.
Check online replacement eligibility
Many Alaska drivers can order a duplicate license online through Alaska DMV if their name and address haven't changed. Check your eligibility before visiting an office.
Verify your identity
You will need to confirm your identity — typically your license number, date of birth, and last four digits of your Social Security number. This is done securely on the official Alaska DMV website only.
Pay the Alaska replacement fee
The Alaska driver's license replacement fee is $20. Pay directly on the official Alaska DMV site or at a Alaska DMV office. Never pay on unofficial websites.
Receive your replacement license
Your duplicate Alaska license arrives by mail, typically within 7–14 days. You may receive a temporary paper document immediately. Your replacement has the same expiration date as your original.
