About Alaska Public Records

Alaska public records are governed by the Alaska Public Records Act (AS 40.25.100–40.25.220). Every person — resident or not — has the right to inspect records held by state and municipal agencies. Records can be in any form: documents, maps, photographs, recordings, or electronic data. Exemptions cover law-enforcement investigative files, personnel records, executive deliberations, and information protected by federal law. State agencies must respond within ten working days.
