Alaska crash reports
We do not yet publish Alaska crash records. Alaska crash reports come from the DMV by mail or email for $10, and they are confidential. Here is who can get one, what to send and what to expect.
How to get your Alaska crash report
Who can get the report
Alaska crash records are confidential under Alaska Statute 28.10.505 and the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act. You can request your own record. Anyone else must qualify under one of the 11 exceptions listed on the request form, such as an insurer, an attorney in a lawsuit, research that does not contact the people involved, or a public agency.
Where to request it
The Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) holds crash reports. Fill in DMV Form 440, Request for Crash Report, and mail it or email it to DMV Driver Services in Anchorage. The form gives the mailing address, the email address and the phone number, 907-269-5551.
The Anchorage Police Department also releases its own reports through its Public Records Center.
