How to get a car accident report in Oklahoma

Where to get the report

• Service Oklahoma (statewide, incl. Highway Patrol) $7 by mail or in person, form 303RM-C

  Officers file reports with the Department of Public Safety, and Service Oklahoma may prepare and deliver a copy of any collision report on file with DPS for $7.00 (47 O.S. § 6-117(C)(1)(b)). DPS’s Open Records and dash cam pages say all requests for collision reports, including reports by Highway Patrol troopers, must go through Service Oklahoma. Use Service Oklahoma’s Collision Request for Records, form 303RM-C (SOK 5/2025): give the collision date, city and county, and case number; the driver’s name, license number, sex and date of birth; and your own contact information. If the report is not about you, also complete the business and reason-for-request sections (government, legal proceedings, insurance claims, licensed private investigators and other uses the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act allows) or attach the driver’s signed written consent, and sign the affirmation under penalty of perjury. Fees: $7.00 per report, plus $3.00 for a certified copy, $10.00 total. Mail the form and payment (cashier’s check, money order or check; no cash) to Service Oklahoma, Business Support Services/Records, PO Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415; Service Oklahoma’s help center says to use the U.S. Postal Service, not FedEx or UPS. Or bring it to Service Oklahoma, 6015 N. Classen Blvd. (Building 4, per the help center), Oklahoma City, OK 73118, where cash and credit or debit cards are also accepted. Service Oklahoma says it cannot process requests sent by email but can return the report by encrypted email; questions go to sokrecords@service.ok.gov. DPS’s pages also list (405) 522-7000. Service Oklahoma says it is not affiliated with DocViews.

• Oklahoma Highway Patrol (other crash records) Free online DPS form; reports via SOK

  For a crash a trooper worked, the collision report itself comes from Service Oklahoma (above). DPS’s Open Records Division takes requests for other records through its online Open Records Request Form, provided digitally at no cost: arrest reports (Report of Investigation), CAD reports (911 dispatch log and incident detail report) and vehicle examination reports. Give the date and time, county and exact location, the names of the people involved, the trooper’s name, badge number and troop if known, and the collision report or citation number. DPS says photographs, witness statements, third-party video, EDR/ACM (event data recorder) downloads, diagrams and other investigative documents beyond arrest and CAD reports require a subpoena, and that records are redacted under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act and the Open Records Act. Requests are worked in the order received and can take up to 90 days or more; you are notified by email when the request is ready. Questions: DPSOpenRecords@dps.ok.gov. Dash and body camera video and 911 audio go through the separate Dash Cam Unit.

• City or county police (examples: OKC, Tulsa) Ask the responding agency; fees vary

  DPS’s Open Records Division does not process police reports issued by other agencies and advises contacting the police department of the responding officer. Local agencies send their reports to DPS within 30 days (47 O.S. § 40-102(A)(1)), so Service Oklahoma can also supply them once they are on file. Local copy fees are set under the Open Records Act, which caps ordinary copies at 25 cents a page and $1 for a certified page unless another statute prescribes the cost (51 O.S. § 24A.5(4)); we did not confirm a collision report fee for any city. Examples from the agencies’ own pages: Oklahoma City Police Records, 700 Colcord Drive, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, (405) 297-1112, takes police and accident report requests through the city’s online records request form or at its public counter (Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.). Tulsa Police lets you file your own online traffic collision report, and print a copy, for a non-injury crash inside Tulsa city limits that did not happen on an interstate; it says the report may not be reviewed for up to 48 hours and that a report number is emailed when it is accepted. Tulsa Police records requests go through its online Open Records Center or by mail to Records Custodian, Tulsa Police Records, P.O. Box 1027, Tulsa, OK 74103, (918) 596-9286; Tulsa says its Records Section follows the Open Records Act and that Executive Order 2026-04, signed July 29, 2026, modified the city’s open records policy.

When you must report a crash in Oklahoma

Injury or death: notify police at once

Immediate notice (47 O.S. § 10-107): the driver of a vehicle in an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person must, after complying with § 10-104, immediately, by the quickest means of communication, give notice of the accident “to the local police department, if such accident occurs within a municipality, or to the office of the county sheriff or the nearest office of the State Highway Patrol.” If the driver is physically incapable of giving that notice and another occupant who was in the vehicle is capable, the occupant must give it (§ 10-111(b)). Section 10-107 states no penalty of its own; a misdemeanor under Chapter 10 with no other penalty is punishable by a fine of $5 to $500 or up to 10 days in jail, with longer jail terms for repeat convictions within a year (47 O.S. § 17-101(B)(1)). Stopping and remaining: a driver in an accident with nonfatal injury must immediately stop at or as close as possible to the scene, return to and remain there until meeting the § 10-104 duties, without obstructing traffic more than necessary; willfully, maliciously or feloniously failing to stop to avoid detection or prosecution is a Class B5 felony punishable by 10 days to two years, a fine of $50 to $1,000, or both, and the Commissioner of Public Safety must revoke the driver license (47 O.S. § 10-102). For a death, the same failure is a Class B4 felony punishable by one to 10 years, a fine of $1,000 to $10,000, or both, with revocation (§ 10-102.1). Damage only: through October 31, 2026, § 10-103 covers an accident resulting only in damage to a vehicle that is driven or attended by any person; from November 1, 2026 (2026 Senate Bill 1226), it covers damage to property or a vehicle that is driven or attended by any person. The driver must stop, remain until meeting the § 10-104 duties, and failing to do so is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500, up to one year in county jail, or both, plus civil liability for three times the value of the damage. Information and aid (§ 10-104): after an accident with injury, death or damage to an attended vehicle, give your correct name, address and the registration number of the vehicle you are driving, show your driver license and security verification form (insurance card) on request to the person struck or the driver, occupant or attendant of the other vehicle, and give any injured person reasonable assistance, including carrying or arranging transport to a doctor or hospital if treatment is apparently necessary or the person asks; a driver who gives intentionally inaccurate information is subject to the § 10-103 penalties. Unattended vehicle (§ 10-105): stop immediately and either find and tell the operator or owner the name and address of the driver and owner of your vehicle and your security verification form information, or leave a written notice in a conspicuous place in the struck vehicle with the same information and a statement of the circumstances. Fixtures, fences or other property (§ 10-106): take reasonable steps to find and notify the owner or person in charge, give your name, address and registration number, show your license and security verification form on request, and report as § 10-108 requires; failing to do so is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500, up to one year in county jail, or both. From November 1, 2026, § 10-106 covers property on or next to a public or private road, street or highway. Moving the vehicle: the owner or operator of a vehicle or its cargo that obstructs the regular flow of traffic must make every reasonable effort to remove it from the roadway, except in a collision resulting in injury or death or a vehicle carrying hazardous materials; this does not relieve you of the § 10-103 duties, and a violation is a misdemeanor punished under § 17-101 (47 O.S. § 11-1001(B)). We found no Oklahoma statute that requires a driver to call police to a crash with damage only; the police report threshold is in the next section. On private property, police must respond to and report crashes involving a personal injury, a driver who may be impaired, or a state or local government vehicle, and cities and counties may adopt their own rules for other private property crashes (§ 10-108(B)). Cities may also require drivers to file a crash report with a city department by ordinance (§ 10-117), so check local rules.

The driver report you may have to file

Unsettled 6 months, over threshold: DPS

Through October 31, 2026, 47 O.S. § 10-108(A) says that, except for collisions on private property, the operator of a motor vehicle in a collision resulting in bodily injury or death, or in which it is apparent that damage to one vehicle or other property is in excess of $300, must forward a written report of the collision to the Department of Public Safety if settlement has not been made within six months after the accident, and that if a settlement has been made, the parties must report the settlement. From November 1, 2026 (2026 House Bill 4143), the damage threshold is in excess of $3,000, and no report is required when all parties agree to exchange information and there is no injury, no death, and no damage to property other than vehicles. The section sets the six-month trigger but states no outer filing deadline; DPS’s form says that if the other driver’s insurance is denied or nonexistent, or you could not get the other party’s information, you must complete it and submit it “within one year from the date of the collision,” so file promptly once six months pass without a settlement. The form is DPS’s Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Collision Report (FR307), mailed to the Department of Public Safety, Driver Compliance Division, P.O. Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415. It asks for both drivers’ and owners’ information, including the other driver’s date of birth, your insurance information (the form warns you will be treated as uninsured and subject to suspension if that section is incomplete), itemized medical bills, a signed itemized repair estimate or total loss statement from a garage or body shop, and any insurance denial; the statute likewise requires a repair estimate signed by an agency or garage representative (§ 10-109(b)). When a report is filed, the Department notifies the other parties, who have 20 days to furnish the information it requests to determine whether they were insured as required, and an owner or driver found out of compliance faces security and suspension proceedings (§ 10-108(C)). Penalty: the Commissioner may suspend the license of a person who fails to report until the report is filed and may extend the suspension by up to 30 days, and a conviction for failing to report is punished under § 17-101, which sets a fine of $5 to $500 or up to 10 days in jail for a first offense (§§ 10-114, 17-101(B)(1)). Giving information in the report while knowing or having reason to believe it is false is punishable by a fine up to $500, up to one year, or both (§ 10-112). Reports made by people involved in collisions are confidential, are not evidence at trial, and may be examined or copied only by a person named in them, that person’s written designee, or as § 40-102 provides (§ 10-115). No filing fee is stated.

What the report costs

$7 Service Oklahoma; $10 certified

Service Oklahoma charges $7.00 for a copy of a collision report on file with the Department of Public Safety (47 O.S. § 6-117(C)(1)(b), the fee since July 1, 2013). A certified copy adds $3.00, for $10.00 in all; Service Oklahoma’s form cites 47 O.S. § 2-110, which sets a $3.00 fee for each certified DPS record, charged only when you ask for certification. Service Oklahoma need not furnish personal information from the report contrary to the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (§ 6-117(C)(1)). City and county police set their own copy fees within the Open Records Act, which caps standard copies at 25 cents a page and certified copies at $1 a page, allows a search fee only for a request that is solely commercial or would clearly cause excessive disruption, and lets an agency require advance payment when the estimate exceeds $75 (51 O.S. § 24A.5(4)). DPS provides its own other records, and Highway Patrol dash cam video, digitally at no cost. No one may charge you a fee for the police response to or investigation of a crash (47 O.S. § 10-118).

When the report is ready

Filed with DPS within 30 days

An officer who investigates or receives a report of a qualifying collision must prepare a written report on DPS’s standard form, and the agency must forward it to DPS within 30 days of the collision or, if someone dies, within 20 days of the death, whichever period is lesser (47 O.S. § 40-102(A)(1)). The officer’s report is required for a collision with injury, death, or total property damage to an apparent extent of $500 or more through October 31, 2026; from November 1, 2026 (2026 House Bill 4143), it is required for collisions on public roadways with injury, death, or damage of $3,000 or more, and not when all parties agree to exchange information and there is no injury, death, or damage to property other than vehicles. Service Oklahoma says collision reports may take up to 30 days to appear in its system. Reports are confidential for 60 days after the collision, but must be made available as soon as practicable during that time to the requesters the law lists (§ 40-102(A)(2)). We found no official statement of how long collision reports are kept.

Who can get a copy

First 60 days: parties and listed others

For 60 days after the collision, reports are confidential, but must be made available as soon as practicable on request to: a party involved; a party’s legal representatives; state, county or city law enforcement; the Department of Transportation or a county or city transportation or road agency; a party’s licensed insurance agents; a party’s insurer, or an insurer to which a party has applied for coverage; a person under contract with such an insurer to provide claims or underwriting information; a prosecutor; a legal newspaper whose primary purpose is not publishing personal information about crash parties; a radio or television broadcaster; licensed private investigators employed by a party; and a provider of health services to a party (47 O.S. § 40-102(A)(2), (C)). Knowingly obtaining or providing information in violation of that confidentiality is a misdemeanor with a fine up to $2,500, and jail up to 30 days for a second offense (§ 40-102(A)(3)). No one may examine or copy a report to make a commercial solicitation, an agency may require you to state in writing under penalty of perjury that you will not, and every copy carries the notice “Warning - State Law. Use of contents for commercial solicitation is unlawful” (§ 40-102(B)). The statute does not list who may get a report after the 60 days. Service Oklahoma’s form says, citing 47 O.S. § 6-117, that by law you may obtain only your own collision report, and it releases a report about someone else only for a reason the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act allows or with the driver’s written consent; § 6-117(D), the subsection the form cites, governs Motor Vehicle Reports, so the form reads more narrowly than § 40-102’s list. Local agencies apply the same statute and the Open Records Act.
