To check the status of your professional license and/or entity go to, www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov, under CPBL Quick Links click License Search.

TIP: To avoid delays do not leave any applicable portion of the renew business license application incomplete.

PART I: BUSINESS NAME

Enter the exact full name and business license number of the business as it appears on your renewing business license. You must operate and advertise in the exact business name listed on your business license certificate.

Per 12 AAC 12.050(a)(1) a change in the business name requires a new business license. For additional information, go to: www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov

PART II: BUSINESS LICENSE FEES

Business license fees are non-refundable once the business license has been issued. Business License fees are $50 per year and may be purchased for one year ($50) or two years ($100). All business licenses expire on December 31, regardless of the date of purchase. The expiring year depends on your choice of an annual (1-year) or biennial (2-year) license. Payment can be made by check (payable to the State of Alaska), money order, or major credit card.

DISCOUNTS: only a sole proprietorship (a business license owned by one individual) may qualify for a Senior Discount or a Disabled Veteran Discount business license fee of $25.00 per year. The discounted fee is not available to other types of businesses; such as Partnerships (two or more people no matter their age), Corporations, LLCs, LLPs, or LPs. Only one qualified discount may be applied to a business license fee.

•Senior Discount: if you are 65 years or older or will turn 65 during the licensing period to which you are applying and you are willing to provide your date of birth. Online filing is available for a Senior Discount.

•Disabled Veteran Discount: if you are a service connected disabled veteran and you are willing to provide a copy of your "service connected" disability determination letter or ID from Veteran Affairs. Initial qualification is not available online at this time for Disabled Veteran Discount. For additional information go to: www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov and click Disabled Veteran Discount FAQs.

ENDORSEMENT FEES: $100 per location, in addition to the Business License fee, is non-refundable once the endorsement has been issued. Endorsements expire on the same date as the business license to which they are attached. For more information see the instructions on the Endorsement page and go to www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov, click Endorsement FAQs. The Endorsement page must be completed and submitted with the business license application if you are purchasing an Endorsement.

TIP: The endorsement fee is a flat rate of $100 per location, whether you purchase a one or two-year business license. For a better bargain, purchase your business license with endorsement(s) for a two-year period.

For more information, including how to determine your business’ six-digit NAICS Code(s) go to www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov and click Line of Business/Alaska NAICS Code.

IMPORTANT: The State of Alaska uses the 2007 six-digit NAICS Codes. The first two digits of the six-digit NAICS Code(s) identify your Line(s) of Business and will appear on your business license certificate.

You may provide up to ten (10) NAICS Codes.

PART IV: ALASKA PROFESSIONAL LICENSE NUMBERS

To determine if the six-digit NAICS code for your business activity requires a professional license go to www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov and click Line of Business/Alaska NAICS Code.

Provide the owner’s name as it appears on the professional license. Owners for the following professions may be an individual or an entity: Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors; Construction Contractors; Public Accountancy; Collection Agency; or Big Game Guides or Transporters.

In addition, if you will be practicing one of the following professions then check the appropriate box to identify if you are renting a chair from a Shop Owner or if you are the Shop Owner:

PART VI: ENDORSEMENT RENEWAL INSTRUCTIONS

Effective 1/1/2019: An Endorsement is required to sell tobacco products, electronic smoking products, or products containing nicotine.

If you sell products requiring an Endorsement, then you must have an Endorsement. An Endorsement cannot stand on its own: it must be attached to a current business license.

•Location: A separate endorsement is required for each physical location where products requiring an Endorsement will be sold.

•Endorsement Fee(s): $100 per location in addition to the business license fee.

•Expiration Date: Endorsements will expire on the same date as the business license to which they are attached. Endorsements must be renewed at the same time as the business license to which they are attached.

TIP: The endorsement fee is a flat rate of $100 per location, whether you purchase a one or two-year business license. For a better bargain, purchase your business license with endorsement(s) for a two-year period.

•Required Signage: A person who holds an Endorsement must post on the licensed premises a warning sign. This sign must be displayed in a conspicuous location to a person purchasing or consuming products requiring an Endorsement. There are significant penalties for improper sales of products requiring an Endorsement. It is the licensee’s responsibility to be familiar with the proper sale of products requiring an Endorsement.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Multiple Business Licenses: If you have multiple business licenses with the exact same business name and the exact same owner then you may be able to consolidate these into one business license. For more information go to www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov and click on Multiple Lines of Business FAQs.

Business Licensing Exemptions: You may not have to purchase a business license if your business activity is an Investment Club or if you hold one of the following licenses from another agency:

•Fisheries business licenses issued by Alaska Department of Revenue or Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

•Liquor licenses issued by Alaska Department of Revenue for alcohol sales only.

•Insurance licenses issued by State of Alaska Division of Insurance.

•Mining licenses issued by Alaska Department of Revenue.

NOTE: An exemption may exist under business licensing statutes; however it may not exist under another agency’s statutes which may require an Alaska Business License:

•For example: Alaska Department of Fish and Game requires Sport Fish businesses to have an Alaska Business License issued by the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing in addition to the Sport Fish license.

Companies that hold the above licenses from other agencies are clearly exempt from business licensing requirements if they are operating only within the activities outlined by the other State Agency’s license requirements; however, if the business engages in additional activities beyond the scope of the other agency’s Industry License, then they will need an Alaskan Business License.

•For example: a liquor store is exempt from business licensing if it only sells liquor; however, if it sells anything else, such as ice, cups, non-alcoholic mixes, sundries, etc., then it must have an Alaska Business License.

If you think you are exempt from business licensing, please consult a Business Licensing Examiner about your specific situation.

IMPORTANT: an exemption to register with another agency or under other statutes and regulations (such as, an exemption to register your entity with the Corporation Section under Title 10) does not exempt you from business licensing requirements unless you also qualify for a business licensing exemption under Business Licensing Statutes & Regulations.

Protect your business name: The purchase of a business license does not automatically register the business name under Title 10 (corporation statutes) and does not give you exclusive rights to the name. Business Licensing Statutes and Regulations do not limit the number of business licenses with the exact same name. To obtain exclusive rights to your business name you may register your business name under Title 10 with the Corporations Section.

IMPORTANT: Exclusive rights are exercised through the court system, not through this Division. For more

information about registering your business name to obtain exclusive rights, go to www.BusinessLicense.Alaska.Gov and select Reserve or Register a Business Name.
