Can I renew my driver’s license online in Alaska?

It’s the middle of winter and the weather is miserable outside. I’ve been putting off renewing my license for months now, but it’s to the point where I need to get it done. Can I renew online and avoid going out in the winter weather?

Alaskan winters are not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. We don’t blame you for wanting to stay snuggled up at home! The good news is that you can renew your driver’s license online in
Alaska
.
If your license expires within a year, you are eligible to renew in Alaska. All you have to do is use the state’s
online renewal tool
. It’s straightforward, but the catch is that you cannot have previously renewed your license online. You can only renew your license online every other time you renew your license.
Driver’s licenses in Alaska are valid for eight years. A lot can change in that amount of time, and hopefully your
car insurance
is one of those things. Did you know you could end up overpaying on your car insurance by renewing the same policy over and over? Try using

super app
