Order a Crash Report

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​What are crash reports?

Crash reports are highly regulated and require a Federal Drivers Privacy Protection Act (or DPPA), 18 USC 2721-2725 Permissible Use for unredacted copies, as they can contain personal information about more than one person.​

Why do you need a crash report?​​

I wa​s in​​ a crash ​

I am with a licensed b​usiness or organization

​I was in a crash

If you were personally involved in a crash, you can order a redacted copy of the crash report in person or by mail. Individuals cannot order a crash report online.

Because crash reports include private information about everyone involved, federal privacy laws limit what can be shared. You will only receive a redacted report, which means some personal details (like names or addresses) will be hidden. This helps protect everyone’s privacy while still giving you the key information you need about the crash.
