Do I Need an Inspection To Renew My Tags in Alaska?

No. Alaska does not require vehicle inspections for tag renewal following the state’s registration renewal requirements. Motorists can renew their registration without undergoing safety or emissions testing, regardless of where they reside within the state.

Vehicle owners may complete the biennial renewal process online, by mail, or in person using current registration documentation and applicable fees. Upon successful renewal, Alaska issues a registration sticker or tab that must be affixed to the top corner of the license plate. This sticker displays the expiration date and serves as proof of current registration when operating a vehicle on Alaska roadways.
