Sec. 45.56.370. Registration by broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, and investment adviser representative.
(a) A person shall register as a broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, or investment adviser representative by filing an application and a consent to service of process complying with AS 45.56.650 and by paying the fee specified in AS 45.56.410 and any reasonable fees charged by the designee of the administrator for processing the filing.

(2) upon request by the administrator, any other financial or other information or record that the administrator determines is appropriate.
(b) If the information or record contained in an application filed under (a) of this section is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete in a material respect, the registrant shall promptly file a correcting amendment.
(c) If an order is not in effect, and a proceeding is not pending under AS 45.56.440, and the administrator has not initiated an investigation, registration becomes effective at noon on the 45th day after a completed application is filed, unless the registration is denied. A regulation adopted or order issued under this chapter may set an earlier effective date or may defer the effective date until noon on the 45th day after the filing of any amendment completing the application.
(d) A registration is effective until midnight on December 31 of the year for which the application for registration is filed. Unless an order is in effect under AS 45.56.440, a registration may be automatically renewed each year by filing the records required by a regulation adopted or order issued under this chapter, by paying the fee specified in AS 45.56.410, and by paying costs charged by the designee of the administrator for processing the filings.
