Every traffic violation in Alaska adds points to your driving record. If you accumulate 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months, your license will be automatically suspended.
Monitoring your record is the only way to know exactly how close you are to a suspension. This guide explains the three official ways to check your license points and how to remove them if your total is too high.
Method 1: Check Alaska License Points Online (Fastest)
The quickest way to view your driving history is through the official Alaska DMV online portal. This provides an immediate digital copy of your driving record (Form 419F).
Cost: $10.00 (Credit/Debit Card)

- Download: Your record will be available immediately as a PDF.
Method 2: Request Driving Record In-Person
If you need an official certified copy or cannot access the online system, you can visit a local DMV office.
Cost: $10.00
- Prepare Documentation: Bring your valid driver’s license or a government-issued photo ID.
- Complete the Form: Fill out Form 419F (Request for Driving Record).
- Visit the Office: To avoid long wait times, it is highly recommended that you book an Alaska DMV Appointment before you go.
- Receive Record: The clerk will print your record on-site.
Method 3: Check Points by Mail
If you are out of state or prefer not to use the internet, you can request your record via mail.
Cost: $10.00 (Check or Money Order)

Note: If you have recently moved, ensure your address is current with the DMV so the record reaches you. You can update it using the Alaska DMV Change of Address form.
Alaska Speeding Ticket Points
Not all tickets are equal. The number of points added to your license depends on the severity of the offense.
| Violation Type | Points Added |
| Speeding (3-9 mph over) | 2 Points |
| Speeding (10-19 mph over) | 4 Points |
| Speeding (20+ mph over) | 6 Points |
| School Zone / Crosswalk | 6 Points |
| Reckless Driving | 10 Points |
| DUI / Refusal to Test | 10 Points |
Frequently Asked Questions
Points remain active on your license for 2 years from the date of the violation. However, the conviction itself (the fact that you got a ticket) will remain on your driving history for longer—either 3 years, 5 years, or permanently, depending on the severity of the offense.
You can remove 2 points from your record by completing a state-approved Defensive Driving Course (DDC).
You are eligible to do this once every 12 months.
This does not erase the conviction from your history; it only lowers your point total to help you avoid suspension.
If you suspect your license is suspended, do not drive. You can verify your status by pulling your “Full Individual Record” using the online method above.

No. Driving records are confidential under Alaska law. You may only request your own record unless you have a signed release from the other driver or a court order.
Conclusion
Checking your points regularly is the best defense against losing your driving privileges. If you see your total nearing the 12-point limit, take immediate action by enrolling in a defensive driving course to reduce your score. For a quick status check, use the online portal; for certified documents needed for court or employment, visit the DMV in person.
