Regulation of Electrical Administrators

The Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing staffs the electrical administrator program. The Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development adopts regulations to carry out laws governing electrical administrators in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary actions against people who violate licensing laws.

Electricians are regulated by the Department of Labor, Labor Standards and Safety, Mechanical Inspection Section.

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.
