Alaska State License Updates - January 2026
Alaska insurance license changes effective Jan 2026: Health LOA becomes Accident & Health or Sickness (935), multiple DRLPs permitted, system downtime Jan 8-9
Alaska is making some updates to their licensing requirements, and we wanted to give you a heads-up so you're prepared. Here's what you need to know:
1. Health LOA Name Change
Effective: January 9, 2026, at 12:00 PM Central Time
Alaska is updating the Health (39) Line of Authority to Accident & Health or Sickness (935).
What this means for you: This is just a name and code change – your existing health licenses remain valid. No action is required on your part.
2. Multiple DRLPs Now Allowed
Good news! Alaska now allows you to list more than one Designated Responsible Licensed Producer (DRLP/Compliance Officer) on agency license applications.
What this means: You have more flexibility in how you structure your agency's compliance oversight.
3. DRLP Coverage Requirement
When submitting an agency license application, your designated DRLPs must collectively cover all Lines of Authority (LOAs) you're applying for.
Example: If you're applying for Property, Casualty, and Health LOAs, make sure your DRLPs' licenses cover all three areas combined.
4. System Downtime (Important!)
Downtime Window:January 8, 2026, 4:00 PM CT through January 9, 2026, 12:00 PM CT
During this time, Alaska will not process any license transactions.
⚠️ Important: Any applications submitted during this window will be automatically declined. Please plan accordingly and avoid submitting Alaska applications during this timeframe.
We recommend: Submit any urgent Alaska applications before January 8 at 4:00 PM CT, or wait until after January 9 at 12:00 PM CT.
