You need to be present in Alaska for 1 full year before you can be considered a resident for hunting, fishing and trapping purposes, then you also must have the intent to remain physically residing in Alaska. You also may not try and claim residency anywhere else.

Many public school teachers in bush villages live in Alaska a year to become a resident, and then after that first year all summer long and most of December visit the lower 48, and are still eligible for the PFD.

It's my understanding that once you establish residency (one full year), if you leave Alaska for over 90 straight days you are in jeopardy of losing your PFD (Permanent Fund Dividend) unless you have a good excuse for being gone so long; like taking care of an elderly parent, medical, etc.. I don't know if that 90 day stipulation applies to losing residency for hunting licenses or not.

Pete, is there a 90 day provision somewhere in the rules, or was I just miss-remembering something? Also, does the 180 days provision also apply to losing the residency requirement for hunting/trapping/fishing licenses?

Pete, is there a 90 day provision somewhere in the rules, or was I just miss-remembering something? Also, does the 180 days provision also apply to losing the residency requirement for hunting/trapping/fishing licenses? There is a question on the application about whether you were gone more than 90 days. But I think if you answer it "yes" they just look at your app a little more closely. I am normally gone more than 90 days, but except for the year I was "out" for 184 days, I have always gotten the PFD. It is when you hit the magic 180 days that your PFD goes "POOF...!" That said, the statutes and regs for receiving a PFD are different from the ones that govern the licensing. Fairbanks is my legal residence for voting, paying taxes, etc. Thus I am legally still able to hunt/fish/trap via my free "ancient Alaskan" permanent license. Pete

The thread is talking about 2 different things. Residency and PFD qualification. They are not the same. nvwrangler is asking about residency for resident status to hunt, trap, fish. You must be present for 12 consecutive months in Alaska. However, that doesn't mean you can't go out of Alaska for vacations, family emergencies, etc. This is not the best place to get the information. I suspect there is a state website that discusses this. I do know that folks who are new residents get looked at closer by LEO to be sure they really have become a resident. Once you establish residency, if that is your goal, then you can decide if you want to meet the requirements to receive a permanent fund dividend. I believe that if you do apply and qualify for the PFD, you will automatically be registered to vote and also go into a jury pool using the address on your PFD application. mt
