What are the steps if I am 17 years old?

How can I get a Pre-Licensing Course Certificate MV-278?

I think you're misunderstanding my question.  I am hoping you can tell me how to place an order online instead.
Yes. To place an order, you will need the plate number of a vehicle involved in the crash or accident.
That's what I thought. Back to accident reports. How long does DMV keep these records?
DMV keeps accident reports for only 4 years from the date of the accident, except for rare instances that are described in Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 201.
Now that is a piece of useful information, thank you. Can I access reports I bought online at a later point in time as well?
Yes, you can access the reports again. Enter the Report Confirmation Number displayed during the report purchase transaction and emailed to you in the transaction confirmation. Then, enter the Search Confirmation Number.
Can I also order a copy of the report as PDF?
