Alaska Criminal Records

To begin, add a criminal record or view a list of locations and resources for Alaska criminal records.

The laws governing Alaska Criminal Records may vary slightly from those in other states in the United States. According to the Alaska Public Records Law (APRA) as defined in Statues 40.25.100-40.25.125 of the Alaska State Legislature, any books, documents, files, accounts or written items that are either created by or otherwise transferred to any public agency or the same records created by or transferred to any private contractor on behalf of a public agency are considered to be public record.

In 1990 the law was expanded to include drafts or other documentation of conversations that are considered public domain in Alaska. These records as well as other Criminal Records in Alaska are open to be viewed by the public during regular business hours and copies are available (except where limited by the same Statute) for a nominal fee. It is important to note that not all Alaska Criminal Records are available in the public domain.
