- State instructions
- Under AS 21.27.270(c)(1) and AS 21.27.040(e), the director may request fingerprints from a non-resident applicant. This is not an automatic requirement or a blanket exemption; follow any individual request.
Continuing education and other notes
Nonresident producers exempt from Alaska CE by AS 21.27.020(f)(5); the Alaska-designated-home-state independent-adjuster exception is not this producer pathway. Keep home-state resident license active/in good standing. AS 21.27.270(e) requires irrevocable appointment of the director for service of process; electronic application must satisfy this. Director may request fingerprints.
