How to get your Oregon crash report

Who can get the report

Oregon releases police crash reports only to people who qualify under ORS 802.175 to 802.191: a party to the crash, or someone with a permitted use under the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act.

Where to request it

Send the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) Request for Information, form 735-7122, asking for a photocopy of the police traffic crash report. DMV2U, the DMV's online service, is for filing your own crash report, not for buying a police report.

City police departments keep their own records. The Portland Police Bureau takes requests through the city's public records portal.
