Key Considerations
- NOT a RULONA state - Alaska has own notary law framework under AS 44.50
- 4-year commission term
- $2,500 bond REQUIRED (new bond with each commission application effective January 1, 2021)
- Limited Governmental Commission option for government employees (employer approval replaces bond)
- $40 application/renewal fee (waived for State of Alaska employees with limited governmental commission)
