Alaska Online Driver Education and Alaska Licensing Procedures

Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Alaska learner's permit or first Alaska driver license. Alaska has a graduated driver license program for Alaska drivers ages 15-18, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Alaska driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.

Alaska Learner Permit

Although you'll have to wait until you're 16 to apply for your first Alaska driver license, when you're 14 you can apply for an Alaska instructional permit, otherwise known as an Alaska learner's permit. An Alaska learner's permit is valid for 2 years, but your parent or guardian must give permission if you need to renew your Alaska driving permit.

So if you're 14 or older, take the following to your local DMV:

  • Personal identification
  • your birth certificate
  • Social Security card
  • and one of the following: proof of school enrollment or graduation, employee ID, health insurance card, IRTS or state tax form, medical records, military dependant identification, pilot's license, or school ID
  • Also remember to bring the $15 for your license to your local DMV.

Once you pass the written exam and vision test (all the information can be found in Alaska's DMV website), you'll receive your Alaska instructional driver license. This Alaska driver's license will enable you to practice driving providing you have someone 21 years or older in the seat next to you as you learn. However, the driver accompanying you must have at least 1 year of driving experience.

However, when you turn 16, you can use your Alaska learner permit to drive with any other Alaska licensed driver--just make sure they're sitting next to you! Keep in mind that an Alaska restricted learner's license is valid for up to 4 years and can only be renewed once.

Alaska Teen Driver's License

If you've had your Alaska learner's license for at least 6 months, or once you turn 18, whichever comes first, you must surrender your Alaska learner's license to apply for your Alaska provisional license--and yes, take the dreaded road test. Any 16 year old applicants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when taking the Alaska driver's license road test. Keep in mind the following:

  • You must complete at least 40 driving hours (signed by a parent, legal guardian, or certified driving instructor)
  • And, 10 hours must be during "challenging circumstances" like nighttime driving or during bad weather.
  • If you've been convicted of a traffic violation or for consuming alcohol while driving with an Alaska learner's permit, you must wait an additional six months before applying for your Alaska provisional driver license.

You can find all the required forms to apply for your Alaska provisional license, as well as also schedule your Alaska road test at the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles website.

After you've scheduled your Alaska road test, bring the following to your local Alaska DMV:

  • the required fee ($15)
  • your Alaska learner's permit
  • your written test scores
  • two pieces of identification.
  • Also, remember to take along your Social Security card
  • You'll also need to bring a notarized parent consent form if you're under 18.

Before the test, an examiner will check your car to see whether it is in safe operating condition with the required equipment. During the test, you will have to make right and left turns, signal properly, use marked and unmarked traffic lanes, back up, make a quick stop, park, and successfully perform the dreaded three point turn.

Alaska Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

There are several restrictions you need to keep in mind regarding your Alaska learner's license or Alaska driver's license.

If you just have your Alaska learner's permit, you must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or person over 21 who has at least one year of driving experience. The person who is supervising you must sit in the front passenger seat. In addition, you cannot drive with passengers under 21 (except siblings).

If you're 16 or older and have your Alaska provisional license you cannot drive a vehicle between 1:00AM and 5AM unless you

  • have a parent, legal guardian with you
  • are going to or from your workplace, a school sponsored or religious event
  • have a medical emergency

If you are convicted of any of the above violations, you will receive 2 points on your Alaska driving record. You will also receive a $200 fine.

Alaska Auto Insurance Alaska Financial Responsibility Laws

Once you receive your Alaska drivers license, you're ready to drive--or are you? Any vehicle registered in Alaska must be covered by liability insurance. The minimum coverage is $50,000 for personal injury and $100,000 for total injury, and $25,000 for property damage. If you are found to be driving without Alaska mandatory liability insurance, you could be fined up to $500 plus court costs. If you are involved in an accident and cannot provide proof of insurance, your Alaska learner's permit or Alaska provisional license will be suspended from 90 days to 1 year.

Alaska Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws

As a new Alaska driver, it's important for you to learn the Alaska drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws. Upon your first conviction of an Alaska DUI, you face imprisonment up to 72 hours and a fine of $1500. Your license will also be suspended a minimum of 90 days. Further Alaska DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Alaska license suspension or even Alaska license revocation.

In 2008 Alaska instituted a ban from text messaging while driving. Driving while texting is a misdemeanor if no accident is caused, and a felony if you are involved in an accident and there is injury or death.

How do I know whether or not the Alaska drivers education course DriverEdToGo.com offers to new drivers over the internet meets all Alaska drivers education class requirements?
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) (or whichever state department maintains driving records in Alaska) will be able to tell you whether DriverEdToGo.com will fulfill your state's driver education requirements or whether DriverEdToGo.com may be taken as a supplement to the driver education and/or training you will receive at a state-approved driving school.
I plan to take the Alaska learners permit test. Is there any Alaska paperwork that I’ll need in order to do that?
In general, you need to have received a certificate of completion for a Alaska driver's education class before you can be issued a learner's permit in Alaska.

Again, this is a general rule and may not apply in Alaska, so we suggest you contact your local Alaska driver's license office and ask exactly what documentation you will be required to provide when you go to take your Alaska learner's permit exam.
How many Alaska online drivers ed course quizzes are there in the DriverEdToGo.com Alaska online driver education course?
There will be a Alaska online drivers ed course quiz after each Alaska online drivers ed course chapter. 
What differences are there between Alaska classroom driver education and Alaska online driver education?
The difference is this: with Alaska online drivers ed at DriverEdToGo.com, there is no need to spend hours in a classroom listening to a lecture.  DriverEdToGo.com gives you the freedom to learn how you want, where you want and when you want!  If your state does not allow online driver education, then you may be required to attend a Alaska driver ed class.  If that's the case, the Alaska driver ed course offered by DriverEdToGo.com makes an excellent supplementary learning tool that will further reinforce what you learn in the classroom.
At some point will I be expected to provide proof of identity while taking the Alaska online driver's ed course?
Only if your state requires us to. If your state requires us to verify your identity for the online drivers ed course (not every state does), it will likely take the form of us asking you personal questions at various times during the course.  Some states do this to make sure that each student is taking a state online driver education course without the help of anyone else.
