PRINT OR TYPE ALL INFORMATION. (Use black or dark blue ink and press firmly.)
Complete both sides of the form.
If additional vehicles were involved in the accident, complete the attached Supplemental Report (Form 735-32B), or on
a blank piece of paper, write all the information as requested in Section 4, the “Other Driver” Section.
DMV Headquarters will verify the insurance information submitted. Complete the insurance section or a suspension of
your driving privileges may occur.
SECTION 1
DATE, LOCATION AND TIME — Clearly identify the date, location and time of the accident. The correct date, location
and time is critical to processing your report. If you are unsure of the county, contact any local law enforcement agency for
assistance.
SECTION 2
YOUR VEHICLE (# 1) — DMV will consider your accident uninsured if you do not complete ALL of this section. You must
list the insurance company name (not agent) and policy number that provided liability coverage for your operation of the
vehicle you were driving at the time of the accident. Note the coverage is for liability insurance, not collision or
comprehensive coverage. DMV will verify this information with the insurance company. If the insurance company denies
the coverage, DMV will suspend your Oregon driving privileges.
SECTION 3
Answer all of the questions in Section 3. DMV will use the information provided in these questions to code the accident. It
is important for you to understand “principal purpose of driving” and “paid to drive.” These include ONLY persons
employed or being paid for the purpose of driving, NOT driving to reach a destination to perform a service. Property
includes, but is not limited to, fixed or real property, landscaping, signs, parked vehicles, and animals.
COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATORS: In addition to this report, Oregon Administrative Rule requires that
Form 735-9229, Motor Carrier Crash Report, MUST be filed within 30 days of a commercial motor vehicle accident

and Insurance Report (Form 735-32) to DMV. Call (503) 986-3507 for questions regarding the Motor Carrier Crash Report.
SECTION 4
OTHER VEHICLE (# 2) — Completion of this information will help DMV match all driver's accident reports more efficiently.
If additional vehicles were involved in the accident, complete attached Supplemental Report (Form 735-32B).
SECTION 5
DESCRIPTION AND SIGNATURE — Describe what happened. It is important for you to sign and date the form.
COMPLETING AND FILING REPORT

by DMV and other officials in making valuable transportation decisions about the roadway systems and driver safety.

and Insurance Report. If you wish to have a complete copy of your report (front and back), you will need to make a copy
for your records.
RECEIPT — Attached is a PINK courtesy copy of your report. After you have completed both sides of the form, tear the
PINK copy off for your records. If you want a receipt, bring the form, with the PINK copy, to a DMV office and have your
copy validated. Without a receipt, you will have no proof of submitting a report.

5267, or deliver it to any DMV office.
