To request a copy of a report that has been filed:

• A citizen report is only available to the person who submitted it. The fee is $5.

• Police reports are available only to the individuals involved in the crash or their authorized agent. Police reports are available three weeks after the incident. The fee is $5.

Complete a Crash Record Request Form (PS2503) and either mail it to the address on the form or visit the DVS Records/Evaluation Counter located at 445 Minnesota Street in St. Paul.

Requests will not be processed without a signature from an Authorized Requestor. An Authorized Requestor is a person involved with the crash (i.e. driver, passenger, owner of damaged property, owner of vehicle or pedestrian) who is recorded on the police report. In the case of a fatality, the next of kin, surviving spouse or legal representative of the estate must provide proof of death such as a death certificate, obituary or memorial card.

Please note: Crash information may only be disclosed to authorized requestors, their legal representatives or insurance representatives. Other disclosure, except by the Highway Traffic Regulation Act (Minnesota Statute. 169.97), is a misdemeanor.
