Alaska Vehicle Bill of Sale Form

For any first (1st) time vehicle registration, an individual must apply within ten (10) days of the vehicle sale date (or 10 days from registering as a resident for out-of-state purchasers). The registration period is two (2) years and the DMV will send a renewal letter to remind a vehicle owner when it’s less than 30 days of expiration. A vehicle owner may use the Online Renewal System after the initial registration.

Where to Register

If a resident lives within 50 miles of a DMV location, the vehicle must be registered in person.

• Remote Filing – If a resident lives in a remote part of Alaska and does not have a local office within 50 miles of a DMV office, they may visit the Remote Alaska Title Procedures Webpage and complete the Title Application (Form 812). All other required documents can be mailed.
