There are three ways you can obtain MTO reports:
Motor Vehicle Collision Report (MVCR)
In an effort to protect personal privacy, the London Police Service (LPS) is no longer providing copies of the MVCR to involved parties. You can request a copy of this report through the Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) website It is important to note that MVCR’s may be amended after the fact if the investigation is still ongoing.
You will require the collision date, as well as either a Driver Licence Number (DL) if it was reported, or a collision report number (our LPS report number). If you are using a DL, do not include the dashes. If you are using our report number, please read the following information regarding different formats.
LPS started transitioning to electronic MVCR reporting to the MTO in mid to late 2023. As a result of this transition, you may have to try more than one format if entering a collision report number.
Current MVCR – for recent collisions, the collision report number will be our police report # minus the year (e.g. for 24-12345, enter the collision report number as 12345 and do not include the year).
Older MVCR – for older collisions, the collision report number will be our police report # including the year. Enter the format of the last 2 digits of the year plus the report number (e.g. for 22-12345, you would enter 2212345, no dash). If that doesn’t work, please try the full year plus the report number (e.g. for 22-12345, you would enter 202212345).
Please note that there may be a delay between the accident date and when the collision report is available on the MTO site, but you will not be charged if the report is not yet available for purchase. The MTO site suggests that you wait 4 to 6 weeks before you order online. You are welcome to try and order the report sooner, however please allow a minimum of 2 full weeks, and please ensure you’ve tried all 3 formats listed above before you contact the officer regarding the report that is unavailable.
