Professions Licensed

All professions licensed by this division are listed in the menu below. For applications, statutes, and to be directed to that program's web page, click on the profession you are interested in.

If you are an active-duty military member or military spouse with orders to Alaska, please click here to obtain a temporary professional license while you apply for and then await a permanent license. Please note, the temporary military courtesy license is separate from the permanent license, with it's own fees and requirements. Therefore, applying for a temporary license does not initiate the process of application for a permanent license. The two licenses must be applied for separately if both are desired.
