4 Ways to Get Your Alabama Crash Report — One Is Free

Alabama crash reports are issued by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). Reports are generally available online about 10 business days after the crash and cost $15 per report.

  1. Purchase online

    Visit ALEA’s official Driver License portal. Have identifying crash and driver information ready. The report fee is $15.

  2. Request by mail

    Complete ALEA’s Crash Report Request Form. Send it with a cashier’s check, certified check, or money order—no personal checks or cash—to: Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, Crash Reports, P.O. Box 1471, Montgomery, AL 36102-1472.

  3. Visit an ALEA office

    Purchase a copy in person at any ALEA Driver License Office. Check office hours before traveling and bring the information needed to locate your report.

  4. Free — $0

    Ask us to search — we charge nothing

    ALEA charges $15. We charge $0. Provide the crash details in the request below and Dennis Injury Law searches the available official sources for you. If we obtain the report you are eligible to receive, we send it at no charge. If we cannot obtain it, there is still no charge. No credit card is ever requested. Availability is not guaranteed.

Official source: Review ALEA’s Driver Records, Crash Reports and Reinstatements guidance. The report process is governed by Alabama Code § 32-10-7.

Already Have Your Report? Here's What To Do Next

Keep the original in a safe place and review the listed drivers, vehicles, insurance details, diagram, and narrative for obvious errors. A report is useful evidence, but it does not decide fault or establish the value of an injury claim.

If you were hurt or have questions about insurance, you can voluntarily ask Dennis Injury Law to review your situation below.
