A learner's permit from another state.

The applicant will be required to:

pass the written knowledge test,

The learner's permit is valid for two years from the date of issuance. Even if a driver has a learner's permit from another state, they must obtain an Alaska learner's permit before driving in Alaska.

You must have held a valid instruction permit for a minimum of six (6) months before obtaining your provisional driver license. While practicing with your valid instruction permit, the adult with you must have been licensed for 1 year and must be 21 years of age or older.
Your parent, legal guardian or employer must provide proof (driving log) that you have had at least forty (40) hours of driving experience. This must include at least ten (10) hours of driving in challenging circumstances such as inclement weather and nighttime driving.
You must NOT have been convicted of a violation of a traffic law within the six months before you apply for your provisional driver license.

Provisional License

Once you obtain your provisional license, you must wait for at least six months in order to graduate to a regular driver license. If you are convicted of violating a traffic law or of violating AS 04.16.050 (c) (repeat minor consuming alcohol) while holding a provisional driver license, you must wait an additional six months before you would be eligible for a regular driver license.

Provisional License Restrictions (Minimum of six months - up to the age of 18)

You may NOT carry passengers under the age of 21, except siblings.
You may NOT operate a motor vehicle between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

Exceptions:

Unless accompanied by a person who is at least 21 years of age that is licensed to drive the type or class of vehicle being driven.
Unless driving to or from your place of employment or within the scope of your employment. All driving must be along the most direct route.

NOTE: Once you reach the age of 18, these restrictions no longer apply to you. You are not required to obtain a regular license at that time. If you choose to obtain a regular license at that time, you would be subject to the vision test and replacement license fees.

Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!

Today’s teens do not just want their license; they want to be good collision-free drivers. They know the risks. Virtually all have friends who got a license and were involved in a collision in the first four weeks. Most teens have lost classmates due to fatal collisions.

"I learned things that will make me a better driver and appreciated the specific instructions on how to train my teen to become a collision-free driver."
- C.P., Glennallen, Alaska

"Thank for your help. I hope to be using this program with my other kids." - Dyea Clemmons, North Pole, Alaska

"The main thing that I liked about the in-vehicle training that I did in this program was that I actually learned things that were going to apply on the road. I like learning hands on, and this was a very good way to practice collision-free driving. I didn't enjoy every second of the in-vehicle training, but it was absolutely worth all of it. The best thing about all the in-vehicle training was the layout of all the progressing steps and every day it was something different. It was good to have my mom with me to tell me what to do and what not to do. There were plenty of situations that needed more attention than what the textbook could cover, so it was good to learn with my parent. I feel like I have become a success at being a collision-free driver." - Avery Clemmons, North Pole, Alaska
