Public Records in Alaska

Alaska public records are governed by the Alaska Public Records Act, which gives residents and the public the right to access government documents and records. From property ownership and court records to business filings and vital statistics, Alaska maintains extensive public databases across its 19 boroughs and census areas. Because Alaska lacks a county system, many records are centralized at the state level through the Department of Commerce and the Alaska Court System's CourtView portal. Whether you're conducting a background check, researching property history, or verifying business information, the resources below provide direct access to official Alaska public records.

What you can find
  • Property and real estate records
  • Court records (civil, criminal, and probate)
  • Business filings and corporate registrations
  • Vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce)
  • UCC liens and secured filings
  • Professional licenses and notary commissions
How to access Alaska public records

Most Alaska public records can be accessed online through state agency portals like the Alaska State Archives and the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics, or through individual county clerk websites. For records not published online, agencies accept written requests under the Alaska Public Records Act — usually by mail or email — and must respond within the statutory deadline. Certified copies of vital records and court documents typically require a small fee and proof of identity.

Using the Alaska business entity portal

Alaska's CBPL entity search returns entity status, registered agent, principal office address, entity type, and biennial report dates. Because Alaska requires biennial (not annual) reports, an entity can look current even if the last filing was nearly two years ago. The portal also surfaces the AK Entity Number, which is the most reliable way to pull a specific record.

Pro tip
Check the 'next report due' date, not just the status — Alaska's two-year cycle means a technically active entity may be months behind on its actual filing obligations.
Common use cases

Verifying a vendor before signing a contract · Confirming good standing before funding a deal · Checking the registered agent before serving legal notice

What you can find
  • Entity status and type
  • Registered agent details
  • Principal office address
  • Formation and expiration dates
  • Filing history
Pro tip
Search by exact legal name first. If nothing returns, try a partial name or the registered agent — many portals normalize punctuation differently than what's filed.
