Board of Public Accountancy

It is Time to Renew Your License!

MY LICENSE Online Renewal

Please use our convenient MY LICENSE online renewal application. In most cases your license will be renewed immediately. Due to a heavy volume of renewal activities, processing time for renewal applications received by mail may take up to 4-6 weeks.

In order to receive communication via email, your email address of record must be current at all times. You may verify your current email address via the MY LICENSE self-service portal. If you are expecting communication from our office, please be sure to check your spam/junk mail folder.

If you have not registered, follow these simple steps:

Visit the MY LICENSE customer home page at: ProfessionalLicense.Alaska.Gov/MYLICENSE
If you have an existing myAlaska account, enter your account information. If not, please create an account. You will be redirected to the MY LICENSE customer home page.
Under Access an Existing License, enter your license number and Web Authorization Code, if one has been provided. This information is on your renewal notice.
To renew your license, simply select the license you wish to renew from the Professional Licensing section.

Valid License Numbers Contain Either:

6 numbers
OR
4 letters + at least 1 number

If you have an alpha-numeric license number, you must enter all of the characters in order to renew online. EXAMPLE: ABCD1234

Hard Copy License Certificates Discontinued

The division has expanded our online services to allow licensees to download their own license certificates on demand. As a result, the division no longer mails hardcopy license certificates. The certificates will be located under the “initial application” and “renewal” events in the MY LICENSE account.

If you need guidance on how to set up or access your MY LICENSE account, you can access the MY LICENSE instructions here.

The mission of the Board of Public Accountancy is to protect the public interest by ensuring that only qualified persons are licensed and appropriate standards of competency and practice are established and enforced.

The Alaska Board of Public Accountancy is staffed by the Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing. The board consists of five certified public accountants and two public members. Board members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Legislature.

The board adopts regulations to carry out the laws governing the practice of public accountancy in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary action against people who violate the licensing laws. The board meets four times a year and offers a public comment period at each meeting. Meeting agendas and minutes are available from the licensing examiner.

We encourage you to review and use the various options presented on this website.

You may download a complete roster of board licensees or just selected types. Keep in mind that not every computer is compatible to retrieving the information on-line.
