Vehicle Registration - Stationed in Alaska - Non-Resident

As a non-resident you are not required to transfer your title and/or registration to Alaska.  You may retain the registration in the state you are a resident of. 

If you choose to obtain registration in Alaska, you may submit a completed military affidavit with your request for Alaska registration and would not be required to pay motor vehicle registration tax on your vehicle(s).  A separate affidavit is required for each vehicle.

As long as you are active duty military stationed in Alaska on military orders and you remain a resident of another state, you must submit one of the following with your registration renewal notice in order to be exempt from the tax:

  • Current (within 90 days) LES showing your home of record as a state other than Alaska
  • Military Affidavit

Your vehicle would be subject to emission's requirements if you reside in the Municipality of Anchorage or the Fairbanks North Star Borough.  I/M Information
