Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
The Alaska DMV, part of the Department of Administration, operates 25 offices from Anchorage and Fairbanks to remote communities served by commission agents. Road tests cover city driving fundamentals — and in many towns the routes are short and highly predictable, which makes practicing them especially effective.
