New DMV Registration and Insurance Requirements for Kotzebue

Questions? Call the DMV at the Borough office 442-2500
Until recently, Kotzebue was exempt from this provision because it had an average daily traffic volume of 499 or less. A study conducted by the Department of Transportation has determined the average daily traffic volume for Kotzebue now exceeds 499 (by triple or more).

"The date for the new DMV requirements for vehicle registration, driver licensing and mandatory vehicle insurance has not been set yet. Once the new DMV regulations have been approved and published, a date for Kotzebue residents to have their vehicles registered, get licensed to drive those vehicles and have mandatory vehicle insurance will be set by DMV...stay tuned!"
