Alaska Vehicle Transport Resources

Before or after your car is shipped to or from Alaska, here are some important resources to make registration and local driving easier:

Alaska DMV Services
Vehicle registration, title transfers, and license plates are handled by the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). You can complete many services online or visit DMV offices in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, or other cities across the state. If your vehicle is arriving by ship, make sure it meets Alaska’s entry requirements.

Safety and Emissions Inspections
Alaska does not require regular emissions testing or annual safety inspections for most personal vehicles. However, used vehicles being sold or brought in from another state may need a VIN inspection. Always check with the DMV if you’re registering an out-of-state car.

Ports and Shipping Access
Most vehicle shipments leave or arrive through the Port of Anchorage. Some locations like Juneau or Kodiak may require barge service or transfers via ferry. Vehicle drop-off and pickup locations must be coordinated in advance due to limited port access in certain areas.

Auto Insurance Requirements in Alaska
To drive legally in Alaska, your vehicle must be insured with at least:

• $50,000 for bodily injury per person
• $100,000 per accident
• $25,000 for property damage
  Minimums may vary depending on the region. Visit the Alaska Division of Insurance for full requirements and regional exceptions.

Weather and Road Conditions
From icy highways to limited winter access, Alaska’s roads can be challenging depending on the season. Before pickup or delivery, check real-time road reports at 511.alaska.gov or contact the Alaska Department of Transportation for route conditions and closures.
