Alaska: General Pawnbroker License Application now Available

Alaskan legislatures have now made available the general pawnbroker license application which must be filled out and filed by all state pawnbrokers by December 31, 2011. This is in addition to the Alaska business license which has always been required of local pawnbrokers.

Any pawnbroker who is unable to fill out the Alaska general pawnbroker license application by September 2, 2011, is required to obtain a temporary pawnbroker license which will be valid from the date received until the end of the calendar year, by which time, the broker must obtain a permanent license.

In order to qualify for the license, pawnbrokers must abide by a number of regulations, such as keeping written records of all transactions and not conducting business with anyone under the age of 18. According to The News Tribune, “The program also requires that shops hold onto the property of military personnel who pawned personal property before being deployed.”

The general pawnbroker license is valid for two years.
