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 date of the collision and when the report becomes available through the MTO. Collision reports are not accessible online until at least 20 days after the collision date, regardless of when the police submit the report.
According to the MTO: "It takes 20 to 30 calendar days to upload reports from recent collisions into the online system. Please wait 4 to 6 weeks before you order online. If a collision report is not found, no fee will be charged."
