Missouri State Highway Patrol

Currently, the Missouri State Highway Patrol charges a $6.00 fee for each basic motor vehicle crash report.  Requests for report copies of crash reports, including certified copies, that occurred in 1997 or later can either be forwarded to the Highway Patrol headquarters of the troop where the motor vehicle crash occurred, or requested from the Highway Patrol headquarters nearest you. (A listing of troop headquarters, their mailing address and telephone number can be obtained by visiting the Home page of this Website.) However, requests for report copies of crashes that occurred in 1996 or earlier, certified crash reports, crash report photographs or crash reconstruction reports must be forwarded to the Patrol Records Division.

To obtain a copy of a basic motor vehicle crash report, including certified copies, investigated by the Highway Patrol, wait 10 days from the date of the crash investigation then follow the link below to complete the records request form.
