The official report typically contains the parties and vehicles involved, the insurance information exchanged at the scene, the officer's diagram and narrative of what happened, any citations issued, and driver or witness statements. You'll usually need it for your insurance claim — and if anyone was injured, the officer's account of fault is often the single most important document in the claim.
Not sure AZ DPS is the right agency? It depends on where the crash happened, not where you live. Tell us the crash location and we'll figure out the right agency — it's part of what we do. See our full Arizona crash report guide for every agency statewide.
Yes — AZ DPS crash reports are available through the AZDPS Public Services Portal. DPS handles crashes on Arizona highways and freeways — if your crash was on the I-10, I-17, US-60, or a state route, your report is likely here. If you'd rather skip the portal, our team can pull it for you free.
What if I don't have my report or case number?
You can still get your report. The official portals usually ask for the report or case number, the crash date, and an involved party's name — but if you don't have that number, our team can locate your AZ DPS report from your name, the date, and where the crash happened.
How much does a AZ DPS crash report cost?
AZ DPS charges $9 (covers the first 9 pages by mail, or email delivery). Our service is free — local injury attorneys sponsor it, so it costs you nothing.
How long does it take to get a AZ DPS report?
DPS asks you to wait at least 14 days after the crash before checking availability. Once it's available we can usually locate it quickly, and we keep checking if it isn't filed yet.
Can you request my AZ DPS report for me?
Yes. Arizona law allows crash reports to be released to the people involved in the accident and their representatives — that's how our team can request yours. Give us your name and the crash details and our Arizona team gets your AZ DPS report through official channels and delivers it free, or call (480) 660-8860.
