As of October 1, 2018, the Richland County Sheriff’s Office will no longer process requests for accident reports (MV4000) or crash reports (DT4000). The Department of Transportation is the records custodian for these reports.

Richland County has partnered with CarFAX. To request an accident/crash report, individuals, insurance companies, law firms, or any other party can submit a request via https://www.crashdocs.org/.

Our office will process currently outstanding requests for accident/ crash reports and any additional requests that are received through October 1, 2018.
Please note that our office remains the records custodian for information that may accompany an accident/ crash report, including narrative/ supplementary reports, photographs, and video recordings. Please continue to contact our office if you wish to request this information.
