Who holds your Oklahoma collision report
| If the collision was investigated by | Where the report is | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) | Service Oklahoma | The Collision Request for Records below |
| A city police department (for example Tulsa) | The department's records unit, and may also be in Service Oklahoma's system | Tulsa police report guide |
| A county sheriff | The sheriff's office, and may also be in Service Oklahoma's system | Call the number on the officer's card |
Service Oklahoma's procedure says most jurisdictions enter collision reports electronically into the Oklahoma Collision Electronic Records System (OCERS), which DPS operates, and the rest are on a second system (OnBase) [5]. A police-department report may not be in Service Oklahoma's system, so check with the department too.
Service Oklahoma: the Collision Request for Records
| What Service Oklahoma says | |
|---|---|
| By mail | Send the form and fees to Service Oklahoma Business Support Services Division, P. O. Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415. "Please do not use Federal Express (FedEx) or United Parcel Service (UPS)"; "Only United States Postal Service (USPS) is acceptable." [1] |
| In person | Present the completed form and fees at Service Oklahoma, 6015 North Classen Boulevard, Building 4, Oklahoma City, OK 73118 [1]. |
| Fee | $7.00 per collision report; a certified copy adds $3.00, for a total of $10.00 [2]. |
| Wait | "Collision reports may take up to 30 days to populate in the system." [2] |
| Not accepted for the request: "We are unable to process records requests received via email." You can ask for the records to be returned by encrypted email [2]. | |
| Phone | DPS gives (405) 522-7000 for collision reports [4]. |
The form asks whether the report is for yourself, requires the driver's license number, sex and date of birth of the driver, and has a Reason for Request section for agencies, insurers and others, with a driver consent option [2].
Who can request one
The form's instructions say: "By law, you are only allowed to obtain your own Collision Report." [2] Service Oklahoma's procedure adds that if the requester was not involved, or an organization is not authorized to receive reports with personal information, "the information on the report may need to be redacted." [5] Whether a report is open to anyone else is covered in are police reports public record.
DPS Open Records (not for collision reports)
The Highway Patrol's open records unit handles other records: arrest reports, CAD (911 dispatch) reports and vehicle examination reports are listed on its request page, "provided digitally at no cost," and "Requests are processed in the order they are received and can take up to 90 days or more to process." [4] It says photographs, witness statements, third-party video, EDR/ACM downloads and diagrams "require a subpoena," and body or dash cam footage and 911 audio go through a separate Dash Cam request [4].

Questions
How do I look up an accident report in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma has no public online lookup that we could find. The Department of Public Safety says crash reports "are maintained by Records Management under Service Oklahoma." [3] To get one, submit the Collision Request for Records form with the fee by mail or in person [1]. If a police department or sheriff wrote it, the Highway Patrol's records office does not process those: "it is advised to contact the respective police department of the responding officer." [4]
Can you look up police reports in Oklahoma?
Collision reports through Service Oklahoma, as above. For other police reports, DPS says "Police Reports issued by other law enforcement agencies are not processed by DPS Open Records." [4] For Tulsa, see the Tulsa police report guide.
How do I get an Oklahoma Highway Patrol accident report?
DPS says "Accident/Collision Reports must be requested through Service Oklahoma's Collision Request for Records or by calling (405) 522-7000." [4] Mail the form to Service Oklahoma Business Support Services Division, P. O. Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415, using the U.S. Postal Service only, or take it to Service Oklahoma, 6015 North Classen Boulevard, Building 4, Oklahoma City, OK 73118 [1].
How much does an Oklahoma collision report cost and how long does it take?
The form lists $7.00 per collision report, plus a $3.00 certified-copy fee for a total of $10.00, and says reports "may take up to 30 days to populate in the system." [2]
Do you have to file an accident report in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma has separate duties. The driver in a crash with injury or death must stop, give information and aid, and "shall immediately, by the quickest means of communication, give notice of such accident" to the local police department (inside a municipality) or to the county sheriff or nearest State Highway Patrol office [7]. The driver must also send a written report to the Department of Public Safety if the collision caused bodily injury or death or apparent damage over $3,000 and was not settled within six months; if it has been settled, the parties must report the settlement [6]. The $3,000 figure applies since November 1, 2026 (House Bill 4143 raised it from $300). No report is required when all parties exchange information and there is no injury, no death and no damage other than to vehicles [6]. See Oklahoma accident reporting requirements.
