How to get your Alabama crash report
Who can get the report
Alabama has not published a public list of who may get a crash report. Alabama Code 32-10-7 governs release, and the Birmingham Police Department cites it as the rule for who may buy a report. Ask ALEA, or the agency that took the report, whether you qualify.
Where to request it
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) sells crash reports online. On the ALEA website, follow the Crash Reports link to the ALEA portal, which is run by Alabama Interactive, the state's online services provider.
City police departments also keep their own reports. In Birmingham, ask the Birmingham Police Department Records Division.
