Who can get the report

Under RSA 260:14 III, New Hampshire crash reports go only to the people involved: the vehicle owner, the operator, passengers, pedestrians and property owners.

Where to request it

Send form DSMV 505, Request for Motor Vehicle Records, to the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) by mail or through the drop box in Concord. There is no online option. Questions go to NH.DMVHelp@dos.nh.gov or 603-227-4010.

Local police departments also release their own crash reports and set their own fees.

What you need

The completed DSMV 505 form with the details of the crash, and a $5 check.

Fees and timing

The DMV charges $1 per page, with a $5 minimum. Include a $5 check; the DMV contacts you if more is due. It does not state a processing time. Local departments charge their own fees; Somersworth, for example, charges $10.

If the report is not filed yet

If the DMV cannot find your report, ask the agency that responded to the crash whether it has been filed, or request a copy from that agency directly.
