Who can get the report
Michigan crash reports are public. Anyone who has the details needed to search can buy one.
Where to request it
Every Michigan police agency files its crash reports (form UD-10) with the Michigan State Police, which sells them online through the Traffic Crash Purchasing System (TCPS). You sign in with a MiLogin account. The State Police say buying online is the only way to get a report from them. Crashes on private property may be held by the local agency.
The Detroit Police Department also sells reports in person, if you bring the 10-digit report number or a valid ID.
What you need
According to guides, you search with a driver's license number or the incident number, plus a date of birth and the date of the crash.
Fees and timing
The House Fiscal Agency gives the fee as $15 per report. Some guides report a wait of about 10 days. In person, Detroit charges $10, cash or money order.
If the report is not filed yet
If the report is not in the system after about 10 days, ask the agency that responded to the crash whether it has filed the report with the State Police.
