(a) An insurer shall provide a policy or endorsement to the insured or to the person entitled to it by mail or delivery or by posting on the insurer's Internet website under (c) of this section within a reasonable period of time after its issuance. The insurer is not required to mail, deliver, or post the policy or endorsement until all conditions required by the insurer have been met by the insured.
(b) If the original policy is delivered or is required to be delivered to or for deposit with a vendor, mortgagee, or pledgee of a motor vehicle or aircraft, and in which policy an interest of the vendee, mortgagor, or pledgor in or with reference to the vehicle or aircraft is insured, a duplicate of the policy setting out the name and address of the insurer, insurance classification of vehicle or aircraft, type of coverage, limits of liability, premiums for the respective coverages, and duration of the policy or memorandum thereof containing the same information, shall be delivered by the vendor, mortgagee, or pledgee to each vendee, mortgagor, or pledgor named in the policy or coming within the group of persons designated in the policy to be included. If the policy does not provide coverage of legal liability for injury to persons or damage to the property of third parties, a statement of the facts shall be printed, written, or stamped conspicuously on the face of the duplicate policy or memorandum.
(c) An insurer may provide an insurance policy or endorsement by posting the policy or endorsement on the insurer's Internet website and clearly identifying the posted policy or endorsement purchased by the insured in the declaration page provided to the insured. An insurance policy or endorsement posted under this subsection
(1) must contain the standard or uniform provisions required by AS 21.42.140;
(2) must be in a form approved by the director under AS 21.42.120;
(3) must be posted in a manner that reasonably allows the insured to retrieve and print or save the policy or endorsement from the website without paying a fee;

(5) may not include personally identifiable information.
(d) The insurer shall notify the insured at the time of issuance or renewal of the method by which the insured may request and the insurer shall provide a paper or electronic copy of the insured's policy or endorsement without the insured paying a fee.
