How to Obtain Your Accident Report in New Mexico (and Get Help When You Need It)

Being involved in a car accident is a jarring experience, and the time immediately following can be filled with confusion and stress. As you navigate the aftermath, one critical document you’ll need is your official accident report. This report is indispensable for insurance claims, potential legal actions, and simply for your personal records. While the process of obtaining it might seem a bit daunting, understanding the clear steps involved can make it much more manageable.

General Steps to Obtain an Accident Report in New Mexico

In the Land of Enchantment, accident reports are filed by the specific law enforcement agency that responded to your collision. This could be the New Mexico State Police (NMSP) if your accident occurred on a state highway or interstate, or a local police department such as the Albuquerque Police Department (APD), Santa Fe Police Department, or a county sheriff’s office like the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office for incidents within their respective jurisdictions.

When is it available?

Accident reports are not typically available immediately after the incident. It usually takes a few business days, often between 3 to 14 days, for the report to be completed, processed, and made available by the responding agency. Complex or severe accidents might require a longer processing time.

Where to obtain it (traditional methods):

  • Online Portals: Many New Mexico law enforcement agencies offer online systems for requesting accident reports. For instance, the Albuquerque Police Department often uses third-party services like Carfax for Police to manage and distribute reports online. You’ll usually need a case number or specific accident details to access it.
  • In Person: You can visit the records division of the law enforcement agency that investigated your accident. Be sure to have all relevant information ready, and it’s a good idea to check their specific hours of operation and any requirements (like an ID) before you go.
  • By Mail: Some agencies allow mail-in requests. This generally involves sending a written request, a self-addressed stamped envelope, and any applicable payment.

Information Needed:

To ensure a smooth request process, try to have the following information readily available:

    • Date and time of the accident

    • Location of the accident (street names, cross streets, mile markers)

    • Names of involved parties

    • Badge number of the responding officer (if provided at the scene)

    • Case or incident number (also usually provided at the scene)

Fees:

Most agencies in New Mexico charge a small fee for obtaining a copy of your accident report. These fees can vary, but commonly range from a few dollars (e.g., Albuquerque Police Department charges $7.50 for online reports) to a per-page fee for physical copies (e.g., some agencies charge around $1.00 per page).
