As long as you are a full-time student attending college outside of Alaska and remain a resident of Alaska, you may continue to renew your vehicle registration in Alaska.  (Use your mailing and residence address where you are attending college.)  If you change your legal residence, obtain employment or become a part-time student, you must change your vehicle registration to the state you are living in.

CAUTION:  USE THESE PROCEDURES ONLY IF YOUR NAME IS SHOWN ON THE ORIGINAL ALASKA VEHICLE TITLE.  If the vehicle is titled in the name of your mother and/or father, you would need to use the same procedures as a person outside of Alaska on vacation.

Your address must be correct on DMV records in order to renew over the Internet.  If your address is incorrect or you are unsure, please use option #2. to renew.  (NOTE:  If your registration is expired or due to expire within 30 days, please check with the webmaster for procedures.  Please provide your current mailing and residence address, along with the license plate number of the vehicle you wish to renew.

Renewal Options:

If you use option #1, you must have a MasterCard or VISA (credit card - not debit card) and your ADDRESS MUST BE CORRECT).   Your registration and tab will be mailed within two business days from successful renewal.  Please E-mail ALASKA DMV if you do not receive the items within 14 days.
