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.

Always verify the notary's commission expiration date AND commission number before accepting a notarized document. An expired commission makes the notarization invalid regardless of the seal.
