Who can get the report
The Missouri State Highway Patrol does not restrict who may request a crash report.
Where to request it
Fill in the request form on the Highway Patrol's GovQA records portal, then send it with a check or money order, made out to DPS Missouri State Highway Patrol, to your troop headquarters or to the Patrol Records Division.
The Patrol also posts preliminary details of the crashes it investigated on its free Online Traffic Crash Reports page. For a crash on city streets, ask the city police department, such as the Kansas City Police Department.
What you need
- The completed request form
- A check or money order for the fee
Fees and timing
A Highway Patrol report costs $6. Photos, certified copies and other extras cost more. Submit your request at least 10 days after the crash; the Patrol notes a backlog, so it can take longer.
If the report is not filed yet
Wait at least 10 days after the crash before you send the request. Until then, check the Online Traffic Crash Reports page for the preliminary details.
