Hawaii Accident Reports - FAQ

In Hawaii, collision reports are filed by the police department that is responsible for your island. There isn’t a centralized office that you can contact to request reports for incidents on all islands. To obtain your collision report, you’ll have to contact the police department responsible for your island in particular. Note that in Hawaii, you cannot have your collision report faxed to you, these reports can only be obtained in person and through mail. On top of this, expect to pay between 50 cents and $2.00 when requesting your collision report. While this is on the cheaper side compared to most other states, it’s important to remember that there is a payment required when requesting these reports. Lastly, Hawaii doesn’t have a designated request form for motor vehicle collision reports, so you will need to write or type your requests yourself when mailing them.

On Kauai, reports that regard a case with pending criminal charges cannot be requested. On Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, reports regarding pending investigations cannot be requested.

For most of Hawaii, you will need to provide the following information to find your accident report:

  • The name(s) and address(es) of the complainant/victim/involved party
  • Police report number
  • The date and time of occurrence

If a car accident results in injury, death, or property damage valued at $3,000 or more, law requires you to call the police immediately. In the case that a driver is unable to call the police, someone else must do so.

In 2020 Hawaii saw 85 fatalities due to car accidents and that approximately 47% of fatal crashes involved speed.
