What is clemency?

Clemency refers to the Governor's constitutional power that allows him or her to grant a pardon, commutation, reprieve, or remission of fines and forfeitures for those convicted of crimes under Alaska state law.

How do I get a pardon?

You need to apply for clemency. Applications are available through the Alaska Board of Parole's website.

Where do I send my application?

Paper applications can be mailed to:

Alaska Board of Parole
550 W 7th Ave, Ste. 1800
Anchorage, AK 99501

Are there costs to file for clemency?

There are no fees charged in this process.

Do I need an attorney to prepare and file my application?

Legal representation is not necessary for this process.

Will a pardon expunge my record?

No. There is no form of clemency that will expunge, remove, or clear an offense from a criminal record.

What if I already applied for clemency back in

Yes, you need to reapply. If you submitted an application or clemency between the years of 2006-2018, you MUST submit a new application and waivers to the Alaska Board of Parole.
