Oklahoma Accident Reports: Highway Patrol, Form 303RM-C and Fees
Who has your crash report, what drivers must report, insurance rules and traffic deaths in Oklahoma.
I-35 cuts through Oklahoma from the Texas line near Thackerville all the way north to the Kansas line near Braman, while I-40 crosses from the Texas line west of Erick to the Arkansas line near Fort Smith. Then there is I-44, which runs from the Texas line near Wichita Falls toward the Missouri line near Joplin, connecting with three major turnpikes along the way: the H.E. Bailey toward Lawton and Oklahoma City, the Turner between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and the Will Rogers heading from Tulsa toward Missouri.
With so many busy routes crossing the state, crashes can happen just about anywhere. But figuring out which agency handled your accident is an important first step when you need a report. Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers cover state highways, interstates, and turnpikes, while city police handle crashes on streets within city limits.
In other words, where your crash happened determines who has your accident report and where you need to go to get a copy.
How to Get an Oklahoma Highway Patrol Accident Report
Oklahoma Highway Patrol accident reports come from Service Oklahoma, the state agency that handles driver records. The Department of Public Safety, which runs the Highway Patrol, sends every collision report request there, and Service Oklahoma takes them on Form 303RM-C, the Collision Request for Records. The form lists mail and in-person options only, and it says requests sent by email cannot be processed.
A copy costs $7, and a certified copy costs $10. Mail the form with a check, cashier’s check, or money order (no cash) to Service Oklahoma, Business Support Services/Records, PO Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415. You can also take it to 6015 North Classen Boulevard in Oklahoma City, where check, cash, and card are accepted.
Reports can take up to 30 days to appear in the system after a crash. Service Oklahoma’s form says you may get only your own collision report. Exceptions cover government agencies, legal matters, research, insurers, licensed private investigators, employers of commercial drivers, and other uses the law allows, and anyone else needs the driver’s written consent. Questions go to [email protected].
Highway Patrol field troops patrol the state’s roads and highways, and 10 turnpike troops cover the toll roads.
Turnpike crashes are worked by OHP’s turnpike troops. That makes a turnpike crash report a Highway Patrol report, requested through Service Oklahoma on Form 303RM-C.

What Oklahoma Drivers Must Report
Under 47 Oklahoma Statutes (O.S.) section 10-107, a driver in a crash that injures or kills anyone must notify police immediately, by the quickest means available. That means the city police inside a city, or the county sheriff or nearest Highway Patrol office elsewhere.
On private property, police must respond to and report crashes involving injury, a driver who may be under the influence of alcohol or another intoxicant, or a vehicle owned by the state or a local government under 47 O.S. 10-108(B). In Tulsa, drivers can file their own report online for a minor collision inside the city, though not for a crash with injuries or one on an interstate.
Under 47 O.S. 10-108(A), when a crash causes injury, death, or apparent damage over $300 to any one vehicle or property, and no settlement has been made within six months, the driver must send a written report to the Department of Public Safety. If the parties settle, they report the settlement.
The form for this is the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Collision Report, DPS FR307. It says to submit it if settlement has not been made, by mail to Service Oklahoma, Driver Compliance Division, PO Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415.
If the other driver’s insurance information was denied, does not exist, or could not be collected at the scene, the form says to complete its reverse side and submit it within one year of the collision. The form warns that a driver whose insurance section is incomplete will be considered uninsured and subject to license suspension.
Oklahoma Insurance Rules After a Crash
Oklahoma policies issued or renewed on or after April 1, 2005 must carry at least $25,000 for injury to one person, $50,000 for injuries in one crash, and $25,000 for property damage under 47 O.S. section 7-103.
Oklahoma does not require personal injury protection (PIP), the coverage that pays your own medical bills in no-fault states. Injury claims go against the liability coverage of the driver who caused the crash. Optional medical payments coverage pays regardless of fault.
Uninsured motorist coverage comes with every policy unless you reject it in writing on an Insurance Commissioner-approved form offered apart from the application, and its minimum limits match the $25,000 and $50,000 injury minimums under 36 O.S. section 3636.
Under 23 O.S. 13, your own share of the blame does not stop you from recovering unless your negligence is greater than the other side’s, counting all defendants together. A driver found 50% at fault can still recover; one found 51% at fault cannot.

Oklahoma Crash Questions
How do I get an Oklahoma Highway Patrol accident report?
Send Service Oklahoma Form 303RM-C, the Collision Request for Records, by mail to PO Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415, or in person at 6015 N. Classen Blvd. A copy is $7, or $10 certified. Email requests are not accepted, reports can take up to 30 days to appear, and you may request only your own report unless a legal exception applies.
How do I get a crash report from an Oklahoma turnpike?
Highway Patrol turnpike troops work crashes on the Turner, Will Rogers, H.E. Bailey, and seven other turnpikes, so the report is a Highway Patrol report. Request it from Service Oklahoma on Form 303RM-C, by mail or at the Oklahoma City office, for $7 or $10 certified. Allow up to 30 days for it to reach the system.
Is Oklahoma a no-fault state?
Oklahoma does not require personal injury protection, the coverage no-fault states use to pay each driver’s own medical bills. Injury claims go against the liability insurance of the driver who caused the crash, which must be at least 25/50/25. An injured driver can recover as long as their own negligence is not greater than the other side’s.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Oklahoma?
Two years for injury and property damage claims under 12 O.S. 95 and two years for wrongful death claims under section 1053. A claim against the state, a city, or a county needs a written notice within one year of the loss under the Governmental Tort Claims Act under 51 O.S. 156, or within one year of the death for wrongful death.
