Who can get the report
Anyone may buy a Maine crash report.
Where to request it
The Maine State Police run the Maine Crash Reporting Online Search and Ordering Service on the state's Maine.gov platform. Police departments and sheriffs across the state submit their crash reports to the State Police, so the service covers city and county crashes too.
Only reportable crashes are in the system: those with an injury or death, or at least $1,000 in damage, on a public road.
What you need
To order, you need the name and date of birth of a person on the report. You can also search by the location, the date of the crash and the investigating agency.
Fees and timing
Searching is free. Each report costs $10, and you are not charged if there is no match. Reports are loaded into the service every day, and your PDF is usually emailed within about 2 to 24 hours of your order.
If the report is not filed yet
If your report is not in the service yet, search again in a few days. If it is still missing, ask the agency that responded to the crash whether it has sent the report to the State Police.
