What the patrol holds
The Nevada Highway Patrol holds the reports for crashes its troopers investigate. If a city police department, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police or a sheriff's office came to your crash instead, that agency holds the report. The patrol's website now carries the name Nevada State Police Highway Patrol.
For an ordinary crash, the patrol does not sell reports on its own website. Its Crash Report Request page sends you to Crashdocs, an outside site, with one line: "Get Your Crash Report. Find yours instantly at CRASHDOCS.org". For a fatal crash, or for photographs from any crash, you go to one of the patrol's three regional offices instead.
The NHP crash number
The Highway Patrol's crash number is the key to the online search. The patrol lists three things you must have to request a crash report:
- The crash number
- The last name of an involved party
- The date of the crash
It adds one rule about the number: it "must include "NHP" followed by number". Its own example is NHP123456789. Type the letters as well as the digits.
The number is on whatever the trooper gave you at the scene. If you do not have it, call the regional office for the area where the crash happened. The table further down shows which office covers which towns.
How to order the report
- Wait 7 to 14 daysThe patrol says crash reports will be available 7 to 14 days from the date of the crash. A search before then may find nothing.
- Open the patrol's Crash Report Request pageFollow its link to Crashdocs, so that you land on the site the patrol itself names.
- Enter the three detailsThe crash number with NHP at the front, the last name of someone involved, and the date of the crash.
- Pay and downloadThe patrol states a fee of $10 per crash report.
A fatal crash is different. Fatal crash reports are not ordered this way. The patrol says to contact the regional offices for fatal reports.
The three regional offices
The regional offices handle fatal crash reports and all crash photos, and they answer questions about crash numbers and citations. Each covers a part of the state. They are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

The state's public records route
Nevada's Department of Public Safety, which includes the Highway Patrol, runs its own public records request system under the Public Records Act in NRS 239. For accident reports it points people straight back to the patrol: "To request a copy of an accident report pursuant to NRS 480.600, please contact your local Highway Patrol office, in which area the accident occurred."
The records system is still the route for other records from the same event. A request has to say who you are, describe the record well enough for the records official to find it, and say whether you want to inspect it or receive a copy, in what format, and how it should be sent. The department charges its actual cost, such as paper, media and postage. Payment by mail or in person is by check, money order or exact cash, and online requests can be paid by credit card. A request that needs more than two hours of staff time is treated as extraordinary.
| Address | 555 Wright Way, Carson City, NV 89711 |
|---|---|
| Phone | 775 684-4953 |
| Requests | Online through the department's request system, or on its form by fax or mail |
When it goes wrong
Crashdocs finds nothing
Check that the number starts with NHP and that the date is the date of the crash. If fewer than 14 days have passed, the report may not be ready. After that, call the regional office for the area.
You have no crash number
Call the substation nearest the crash or the regional office that covers it, with the date, the place and the drivers' names.
The crash was in a city
If a city or metro police officer came, that department holds the report, not the patrol. The Nevada page covers the other agencies.
Someone died in the crash
Do not wait for Crashdocs. Fatal crash reports come from the regional office.
