Who can get the report
Hawaii has no state police; each county police department releases its own crash reports. The Honolulu Police Department asks for a color copy of your ID and has separate rules for next of kin and for representatives. Call the Records Division to confirm that the report can be released to you.
Where to request it
In Honolulu, call the Honolulu Police Department Records Division at 808-723-3258 first, to confirm the report is ready for release. Then request it by email, by mail or in person at 801 S. Beretania St. On the other islands, ask the county police department that responded to the crash.
What you need
- Your name and contact details
- The report number, or the date, time and location of the crash
- The names of the people involved
- A color copy of your ID
Fees and timing
Honolulu charges $0.50 for the first page and $0.25 for each additional page. Pay by cash or check; cards and online payment are not accepted. A report is released only after the investigation is closed, and no processing time is stated.
If the report is not filed yet
