Regulation of Mortuary Science

The Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing staffs the mortuary science program. The Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development adopts regulations to carry out laws governing the practice of mortuary science in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary actions against people who violate licensing laws.

Hard Copy License Certificates Discontinued

The division has expanded our online services to allow licensees to download their own license certificates on demand. As a result, the division no longer mails hardcopy license certificates. The certificates will be located under the “initial application” and “renewal” events in the MY LICENSE account.

If you need guidance on how to set up or access your MY LICENSE account, you can access the MY LICENSE instructions here.
