Mail delivery can take several weeks since a mail request is processed in the order it’s received. You must keep this in mind if you need to obtain your report as soon as possible.
It can take up to twelve business days before your agency report is available. If the auto accident involved a violent crime, common property crime, fatality, auto-pedestrian crash, fatal motorcycle crash, or personal injuries, then there may be an ongoing investigation.
