History[edit | edit source]

Collective Naturalization[edit | edit source]

Residents of Alaska became citizens of the United States when Alaska was purchased in 1867 from Russia.

Judicial Districts[edit | edit source]

Naturalization records for those arriving later have been filed in the judicial districts. Records for some of the districts, 1884 to 1959, are at the Alaska State Archives.

Territorial Records[edit | edit source]

Old territorial records of Fairbanks, Juneau, and Nome have been transferred to the superior court.

Family History Library[edit | edit source]

The Family History Library has not acquired naturalization records for Alaska. The library does have two indexes for naturalization records in Alaska.

Post 1906 Records[edit | edit source]

For naturalization records after September 1906, contact the National Archives—Alaska Region at http://www.archives.state.ak.us/  or the local office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
