Requesting Arapahoe County Accident Reports Online
If the Arapahoe County sheriff responded to the scene, you can request most records online. Visit their Records Request Portal page, where you can quickly request an auto accident report.
You will need some information before ordering your report, including:
- Accident date,
- Accident location,
- Report number, and
- Parties involved.
You also need a credit card, debit card, or electronic check to request your report online. In addition to the report fees, you must pay a service fee initiated by the online service partner.
Currently, fees for electronic checks are $1.50, and credit or debit cards have a 2.45% fee with a minimum charge of $2.00. Prices for the report itself will be calculated using the Sheriff’s current fee schedule.
The average turnaround is three business days, but it could take longer. In some instances, your report may not be available online.
If that is the case, someone will notify you by email or telephone if you need to request your report in person. Please note that the system is not optimized for mobile devices, such as an iPad or mobile phone.
You should make your request using a laptop or desktop computer if possible.
You can go online to check the status of your request as well. You will need your request number and the email address you used when you filed the initial request.
If you can’t locate your request number, it will be in the confirmation email that you received from NoReply@arapahoegov.com.
You should receive a confirmation email within five minutes of submitting your request. If you don’t see it, be sure to check your junk or spam folders too.
