How to Get an Official Missouri Crash Report
If you were involved in a crash in Missouri, your official crash report is typically kept by either the state highway patrol, the local police department or sheriff's office that responded, or the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.
1. Crashes on Highways and State Roads
For crashes handled on highways and state roads, you can usually request a basic crash report through the state patrol's central records unit. You'll need the driver name, crash date, case number, and crash location. Requests may take several business days to process.
2. Crashes Inside Cities and Counties
If your crash happened inside city or county limits, the local police department or sheriff's office is usually the custodian of the report. Most agencies allow you to request reports online, in person, or by mail, and they charge a small fee.
3. State DMV Records
The state Department of Motor Vehicles or equivalent agency maintains statewide crash records for driver-history purposes. Processing can take several weeks as reports are entered into the state system.

Missouri Accident Report FAQs
How long does it take for a crash report to be available?
Processing times vary by agency, but it often takes several days to a few weeks before a crash report is available for request. Some statewide records can take up to a few months to appear in the driver record system, especially if the crash was recently reported.
Do I need a report if it was a minor accident?
Even for minor crashes, an official report can be important for insurance claims and protecting your rights if injuries or vehicle damage turn out to be more serious than they first appeared.
Can this website give me the official report?
No. We help you understand which agency likely has your report and how to request it. Official copies are only available from government agencies such as the state patrol, local police departments, sheriff's offices, or the state DMV.
