Alaska is one of the places where our state research did not confirm a statewide license for private driving schools. That makes your own checks more important: see whether the school appears on the state's published list, and ask what its course covers before you pay.
Our state research did not confirm a statewide license for private driving schools in Alaska; the agency we found is the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles.
- Search Alaska’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school which state approvals it holds, and get the answer in writing.
