Active warrants in Alaska are maintained by law enforcement at state, borough, and local levels. There is no single database of all warrants in Alaska.
What this page covers: Alaska state warrant databases, most-wanted lists, and borough-level warrant search tools where available. What it does not cover: Federal warrants (those are handled by the U.S. Marshals and FBI).
Where to start: Check the state law enforcement agency first for statewide warrant searches. For borough-level warrants, contact the borough sheriff. Many borough sheriffs post active warrant lists on their websites.
Common mistake: Most-wanted lists only show high-priority fugitives. If you need to check whether someone has any active warrant, a most-wanted list is not enough — contact the borough sheriff or clerk of court directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free statewide criminal search in Alaska?▼
Alaska's official criminal-history repository is operated by the state law-enforcement agency. Free public access to a complete criminal history is generally not available; an official background check typically requires fingerprints and a fee. Borough or census area-level court records can be searched at no cost through individual court websites.
How do I search Alaska court cases?▼
Alaska's court system is headed by the Alaska Supreme Court. Trial-court business is handled by the Superior Court (4 districts) and District Court. Many Alaska courts publish docket searches and case lookups online — see the Court Records tab above for direct links.
Where do I search Alaska business entities?▼
The Alaska Office of the Lieutenant Governor / Division of Elections (or equivalent agency) operates the official business-entity search. You can typically search corporations, LLCs, LPs, and other registered entities by name or registration number. See the Licenses or Business tab above.
What is the difference between Assessor and Recorder in Alaska?▼
The Assessor determines property values for tax purposes. The Recorder (or Clerk-Recorder) records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other property documents. Some borough or census area offices combine these roles, others keep them separate. Check the specific borough or census area page for details.
How do I obtain a Alaska birth or death certificate?▼
Alaska vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce certificates) are issued by the Alaska Department of Health (Bureau of Vital Statistics) and, in many cases, by local borough or census area clerks. Fees and ID requirements are set by the issuing agency.
Are Alaska property records free to search?▼
Most borough or census area-level property and recorded-document searches are free for basic information through the Assessor or Recorder website. Certified copies of deeds typically have a per-page fee. Direct links are in the Property Records tab above.
How do I check a Alaska sex offender?▼
The Alaska sex offender registry is maintained by the state law-enforcement agency under the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act. The registry is searchable by name, ZIP code, or address.
