Third-party collection agencies that collect from Alaska residents generally need a collection-agency license from the Division of Banking and Securities.
File with the Division of Banking and Securities. Use the division’s current checklist to see whether the application is on NMLS or the state portal.
State licensing does not replace the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, CFPB Regulation F, or the TCPA. Those rules apply whether or not a state issues a license.
