Requesting Copies of Crash Reports

Beginning December 1, 2009, motorists involved in motor vehicle crashes in Georgia will now be able to obtain a copy of their crash report quickly via Georgia’s new online service www.BuyCrash.com.

The online reports will vary in cost starting at $5 depending on the reporting law enforcement agency, compared to $5 flat fee via U.S. mail. Users can search for their crash reports utilizing a number of search options including their name, date of crash, road of occurrence and VIN.

This new service is made possible through a partnership with Open Portal Solutions (OPS) and Georgia DOT. Half of the online fee will go to the law enforcement agency completing the report while the rest will go to OPS.

Law Enforcement Forms for Download

Crash reporting forms for Law Enforcement Agencies are available for download. Please direct any questions concerning these forms or access to the GDOT Crash Reporting Unit in Atlanta, Georgia at (404) 635-8109 or by fax at (404) 635-8175.

• Georgia Uniform Motor Vehicle Accident Report Instruction Manual for Law Enforcement Agencies
• Georgia Uniform Motor Vehicle Accident Report Overlay
• Georgia Personal Report of Accident
  This form should be completed when a traffic accident occurs and a law enforcement officer is not called to make a report. This report is for your own personal use and should NOT be mailed to the Georgia Department of Transportation, as it will be destroyed upon receipt

GDOT has partnered with Open Portal Solutions (OPS) to offer free electronic crash reporting software called GEARS (Georgia Electronic Accident Reporting System). A video explaining more is available at the GEARS website.

Additional Resources

Driver's Licenses

House Bill 501, enacted by the General Assembly in the 2005 Legislative Session, approved as of July 1, 2005, disbanded the DMVS and transferred the responsibility for issuing driver's licenses and maintaining driving records to the Department of Driver Services (DDS) and the responsibility of the statewide repository for Georgia Uniform Motor Vehicle Accident Reports (GUMVAR) to GDOT.

Insurance Information

Please be aware that the GDOT Crash Reporting Unit does not possess or have access to automobile insurance data information. Often the officer will enter insurance information on the crash report as a courtesy to the drivers, but if you have a copy of the crash report and insurance information for the other driver is not valid or incomplete GDOT again does not have any additional information. The Georgia Department of Revenue - Motor Vehicle Division - (404) 362-6500 - is the official repository for this information in Georgia.
