MyAlaska/MY LICENSE AKA "nurse portal account"

Although not mandatory, the Alaska State Board of Nursing highly recommends nurse aide applicants create a MyAlaska/MY LICENSE account.

This account is separate from the one you create through Credentia Platform and is a tool used for tracking your application process, viewing your nurse aide certificate after it's been issued*, and renewing your nurse aide certificate online.

*The Alaska State Board of Nursing has gone paperless. If you do not have a MyAlaska/MY LICENSE account, you will not be able to view your nurse aide certificate and will instead need to use the "Search Professional License" feature (https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/cbp/main/Search/Professional) to verify your nurse aide certificate status.
