Who can get the report
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) does not state who may buy a report online. Some reports are not available for online purchase; for those, ask the agency that took the report.
Where to request it
WisDOT sells crash reports online. Reports from every Wisconsin agency, including the Milwaukee Police Department, go into the WisDOT system once the agency submits them.
What you need
Either:
- The document number, typed without vowels, spaces or dashes, or
- The date of the crash (or the month and year) and a Wisconsin driver's license number
Fees and timing
WisDOT shows the price at checkout. A report can take 10 business days or more to appear after the crash. Once you buy it, you can save it right away as a PDF. Reports stay available for 4 years from the crash date.
If the report is not filed yet
If you cannot find your report after 10 business days, search again later, then ask the agency that responded to the crash whether it has submitted the report.
