Payment and Refund Policy

Online Payment

To proceed with payment, you will be redirected automatically to our secure payment site managed by our third-party administrator, Internet Secure. This site is not managed by the State of Alaska, and we cannot access it in order to assist with your payment. If you have trouble accessing the site, please check your computer’s security settings to allow transfer to our third-party payment administrator. In order to proceed with your online renewal, please discuss with your network administrator or temporarily lower them to enable transfer to the payment site.

If you do not wish to pay by credit card via Internet Secure, please file your renewal application using the paper version on our web site at ProfessionalLicense.Alaska.Gov. You may not renew your license online without completing payment.
