Does my pharmacist license transfer to Alaska?

Yes — Alaska accepts an eLTP transfer of your license, then gates it behind the state's own pharmacy-law exam. NABP handles the verification through your e-Profile and the Alaska Board of Pharmacy (Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing) makes the licensing decision. NAPLEX is not retaken; license history transfers via the NABP eLTP. Alaska no longer requires the MPJE (dropped effective May 19, 2024) and has not adopted the UMPJE. Reciprocity applicants must instead complete a 10-question Alaska Law Questionnaire through the My License portal; all 10 answers must be correct before the application proceeds. The NAPLEX is never repeated. Fee: $200 (Total $200 = $100 non-refundable application fee + $100 pharmacist license fee, per the Board's pharmacist reciprocity instructions. Separate NABP eLTP fees ($300 application + $100 per jurisdiction) apply and are not included here.).

Verdict

Licensure by endorsement

The move into Alaska runs on two steps in sequence. First the NABP eLTP carries your license and NAPLEX record to the Alaska Board of Pharmacy (Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing); then Alaska's own law exam gates the license. Neither re-tests your pharmacy education — the eLTP is verification, and the law exam covers Alaska's pharmacy law. Open the e-Profile transfer early, because NABP's verification and scheduling the law exam are the two steps that set your timeline, not the application itself.

No interstate compact for pharmacy; transfer runs through the NABP eLTP and the Alaska board makes the licensure decision. Alaska is one of the few jurisdictions with no MPJE/UMPJE requirement; the remaining state-law hurdle is a short open-book Alaska Law Questionnaire, so full_reciprocity is set false because a state-specific law requirement still gates the transfer. The commerce.alaska.gov pages block automated fetch (HTTP 403); values were verified from the board's own official-domain pages via search-indexed content.
