Yes. Alaska has an explicit reciprocity statuteAS 13.52.010(k)Verified Jul 15, 2026: a healthcare directive executed in another state is honored in Alaska if it was validly executed under another state's law. Alaska adopted the UHCDA framework (2004, effective 2005) but AS 13.52.010(k) imposes a compliance-with-Alaska-law standard: "Except as provided in AS 13.52.247(a), an advance health care directive, including an advance health care directive that is made in compliance with the laws of another state, is valid for purposes of this chapter if it complies with this chapter, regardless of where or when it was executed or communicated." Out-of-state directives that do not meet Alaska execution requirements are valid only to the extent they comply with AS 13.52. The document portability tool covers reciprocity rules in detail.
