Guide

How to run a background check in Alaska

Criminal history: statewide criminal history checks come from the Alaska Department of Public Safety.

Court records: case files stay with the clerk of the court that heard the case; start with the Alaska Court System.

Vital records: certified birth and death certificates come from the Alaska Department of Health, Health Analytics and Vital Records.

Licenses, businesses and property: the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development keeps business licenses and professional licenses.

Employment, tenant, credit or insurance decisions: use a consumer reporting agency that follows the FCRA. PublicRecordCenter.com is a directory of official sources, not a consumer reporting agency; your rights are on the Background Check Help page.
