The short answer
You can request your own Oklahoma collision report from Service Oklahoma by mail or in person. A standard copy costs $7, and a certified copy costs $10. Reports can take up to 30 days to be available after the crash. Police must write up a crash report when it results in injury or death, or when property damage appears to be $3,000 or more.
Which agency has your report
The report comes from the agency whose officer came to the crash. On interstates and state highways that is usually the state police or highway patrol. On city streets it is the city police, and outside city limits it is often the county sheriff. Ask the officer for the report number before you leave the scene.

Your reporting duties
When you must report to police
Police must write up a crash report when it results in injury or death, or when property damage appears to be $3,000 or more.

Whether you must file your own report
