The rule

Does Alaska license radon professionals?

Alaska's radon program page, checked on November 3, 2026, does not say whether the state licenses or certifies radon professionals. Ask the program before you hire.

Alaska is not on the list of states with radon credentialing programs that EPA's state contacts page publishes. Licensing is done by the state, not by the national programs, and EPA requires states that receive radon grants to give the public a list of only those providers credentialed by the state or by NRPP or NRSB.

How to check a credential in Alaska

  1. Alaska's own list

    Start with Alaska's radon program. Licensing is done by the state, and most states can give you a list of radon service providers working there.

  2. NRPP's search

    The National Radon Proficiency Program's search finds its Certified Mitigation Specialists and Certified Measurement Professionals by area, by name, or by the 6-digit NRPP ID number a professional can give you.

  3. NRSB's search

    The National Radon Safety Board's search finds a professional in your area, or confirms that a named professional is NRSB certified.

  4. The ID card

    The programs usually issue a photo ID card showing the holder's qualifications and its expiry date. Ask to see it, and if in doubt, check with the body that issued it.

Hiring

Hiring in Alaska

A tester

Ask for the credential and ID card, how the test will be guarded against interference, and when the report will come. EPA recommends an independent, qualified tester for the test after a system is installed.

What a professional test involves

A mitigation contractor

Get more than one estimate, contact references, and ask for a written proposal and a contract before any work starts.

No listing here is a license. The first list holds businesses Alaska's own registry lists, or that confirmed their own listing; each card names its source.

Before you hire, check the business against Alaska's own list or the issuing body's search, because a listing on Radon411 is not a credential.
