Request a collision report

If you're a solicitor or an insurance agent, you can apply, on behalf of your client, for a copy of any existing collision reports the police have made or hold, or request an interview with the police officer who dealt with the road traffic collision, as long as it's been investigated.

Individuals can also apply for collision reports if they're representing themselves in civil proceedings.

How to apply

Download our 'Request a collision report' form below and complete it with as much information as you have, then email it to [email protected].

From 2 February 2026, our process is changing and a search fee is being introduced. When you submit your application, we will reply to you with a payment link for a search fee. Once the search fee has been paid, we will then process your request and confirm if the information is available and the cost for it, along with how to make a payment.

How long does it take?

If you're requesting a copy of the report it can take up to 12 weeks from the date that we process your payment.

If you're requesting the details of a third party it can take up to 21 days from the date that we process your payment.

Please note, full reports can only be released once the investigation has been completed, any necessary court proceedings have been resulted and the file has been finalised.
