Additional Notes

Must register with the Alaska Department of Law at least 30 days BEFORE commencing any telephonic sales in Alaska. Failure to register is a class C felony — one of the harsher penalties in the country for non-registration. Alaska is among the few states that does not require annual renewal. The registration form is available from the Consumer Protection Unit at 1031 West 4th Avenue, Suite 200, Anchorage, AK 99501. Fee amount is not publicly listed on the website; contact (907) 269-5100 for current fee information. No surety bond is required.

Alaska does not require separate individual salesperson registration. Only the telephonic seller (business entity) must register with the Department of Law. Individual employees making calls on behalf of a registered seller are covered by the business registration. However, all callers must comply with disclosure requirements: within the first 15 seconds, disclose the seller's name, phone number, whom they represent, and that it is a sales call.

Apply Before Your First Call

Operating as an unregistered telemarketer in Alaska is a separate violation from consent or calling-hours violations. You can be penalized $500 per call even if every other aspect of your operation is compliant.
