Who can get the report
Anyone can buy an Arkansas crash report. The Arkansas State Police portal sells reports to the public, and the Department of Public Safety has a mail-in form for people who were not involved in the crash. Reports that involve juvenile occupants are handled separately by Crash Records at 501-618-8130.
Where to request it
Use the Arkansas State Police Crash Report Online Purchase System, which runs on the state's Arkansas.gov portal. Reports are delivered electronically.
What you need
Search with the name of a person involved, the date and the other details of the crash. The portal also has a VIN search that shows whether a vehicle has been in an Arkansas crash.
Fees and timing
Each report costs $25, a fee set by state law. Most reports are available within 10 business days of the crash.
If the report is not filed yet
If your report is not in the portal yet, wait and search again once 10 business days have passed. If it is still missing, call the agency that responded to the crash and ask whether the officer has filed it.
