Correcting Your Alaska Driving Record

Since your car insurance company and employer can access your driving record, you may want to review it for accuracy. If you have erroneous outstanding tickets or other convictions on your record, you could be paying higher insurance rates, and could even have your license mistakenly suspended.

If you find an error on your drivers record, contact an Alaska DMV office for assistance. Give them as much detail as you can, and provide any proof of the error that you may have.
