How to Get an Official Colorado Crash Report
In Colorado, the State Patrol's Central Records Unit releases State Patrol crash reports, and the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) keeps crash information it receives from law enforcement agencies. You can request a State Patrol report on its online Records Request Portal, or a DMV copy by mail or at an in-person appointment.

Colorado Accident Report FAQs
How long does it take for a crash report to be available?
Processing times vary by agency, but it often takes several days to a few weeks before a crash report is available for request. Some statewide records can take up to a few months to appear in the driver record system, especially if the crash was recently reported.
Do I need a report if it was a minor accident?
Even for minor crashes, an official report can be important for insurance claims and protecting your rights if injuries or vehicle damage turn out to be more serious than they first appeared.
Can this website give me the official report?
No. Official copies come from government agencies. Our Colorado crash report guide explains who keeps crash reports in Colorado and how to request a copy.
