The court block adds the first appearance date, court case number, and disposition. Under AS 40.25.120, third-party requests may come back with some information redacted. Under AS 22.35.030, case records from an acquittal or full dismissal may be removed from public sites within 60 days.

Sealing Records Under AS 12.62.180 for Tanaina

Alaska law lets a person ask to seal an arrest record in narrow cases. Under AS 12.62.180, a person may ask DPS to seal a record if the arrest was based on mistaken identity or a false accusation. This applies to Tanaina arrest records held at the state repository in Anchorage. The request goes to the DPS Criminal Records and Identification Bureau.

To start the process, file a sworn statement. Include the case number, the date of arrest, and the reason the record should be sealed. You can also send in court orders or police reports that back up the claim. DPS has 30 days to review the request and send a written answer. If the state denies the request, you can appeal to the trial court in Palmer, which serves Tanaina.

Sealing does not erase the record. The file stays in the state system but is blocked from public view. Some Tanaina busted mugshots may still show up on private sites that pulled the photo before the seal was granted. For those, you must contact the site owner directly since DPS cannot force a private site to take down a photo.
