The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles has introduced a new online reporting system that allows drivers to submit collision reports digitally, reducing reliance on traditional paperwork and in-person visits.
Effective immediately, Oregon residents involved in qualifying traffic crashes can file the Oregon Traffic Collision and Insurance Report at DMV2U.oregon.gov, a platform that supports 24/7 access from any internet-enabled device. Previously, drivers were limited to mailing, faxing or dropping off paper reports, a process the new system is designed to streamline.
“The new online option for the Oregon Traffic Collision and Insurance Report is part of DMV’s expanding menu of online services that are available 24/7 at DMV2U,” said DMV Administrator Amy Joyce. “It’s more convenient for drivers and helps us process reports more efficiently.”
Oregon law requires that a driver submit a report to the DMV within 72 hours of a crash that results in death, injury or property damage exceeding $2,500. The online system enables users to save progress and return later if needed, accommodating the often-stressful nature of post-collision tasks.
With 46,762 reportable crashes recorded in 2023 by the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Crash Analysis & Reporting Unit, the new digital tool is expected to ease the burden on both the public and DMV employees. The agency processes roughly 200,000 collision reports annually.
