Who can get the report
Anyone. In Nebraska the investigating officer's crash report is public information. The reports drivers file themselves are confidential.
Where to request it
The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) Highway Safety Section keeps crash reports. Request one by email to NDOT.CrashReport@Nebraska.gov, by phone at 402-479-4645, by mail, or in person in Lincoln. The Nebraska State Patrol refers all crash report requests to NDOT.
Some counties sell their own reports; the Sarpy County Sheriff uses CrashDocs.
What you need
- The driver's name
- The date of the crash
- The location, including the county
Fees and timing
NDOT charges $13 plus tax for the investigator's report. It does not state a processing time.
If the report is not filed yet
NDOT can only send a report the officer has filed. If it cannot find yours, ask the agency that responded to the crash whether the report has been filed.
