Alaska is starting to go to the new Real ID driver's licenses after the first of the year as required by the feds. This is what you'll have to do to get a new Alaska driver's license.
This should be interesting as a lot of people in Alaska live in the bush, off of the grid where there are no addresses, no utility bills, no a lot of things that Home Land Security has no idea about - but we're certainly safer for it.............
Yes, you can be an Alaskan resident without applying for the PFD - Permanent Fund Dividend Check. And don't apply for it if you don't meet the requirements such as being in state for a little over half of the year. And don't think they just reject your application and that's the end of it. The State prosecutes people every year who shouldn't have applied.
It's really simple for the State to check on that. Unless you take your own plane or boat in and out of the State, they simply check the passenger logs on commercial flights, the State ferry system, or the Boarder check points with Canada.
Another simple way they catch people is when they file for the dividend using a computer that isn't in Alaska - they can tell that. We've had friends who procrastinated on filing for the dividend and then flew out of state on vacation filing for it when they were Stateside or in Mexico not thinking it would be a problem. They met all of the States requirements for the PFD, they just filed for it while they happened to be out of state. The computer system catches this and rejects them. Then it takes them months to prove they do actually meet the law.
