How to create a digital accident report

Unfallbericht.at guides you through every important detail in the browser: accident location, parties, 17-point checklist, sketch, damage, photos, signature and finished PDF.

Sign in with ID Austria

Your details are there before you start

If you sign in with ID Austria, Unfallbericht.at imports your details straight from the official registers. No typing, no transposed digits — half the report is done before you open the first step.

ID Austria
  • Personal data such as name, date of birth and address is imported
  • Driving licence details come from the register instead of from memory
  • Vehicle registration data including your plates is already on file
  • Sign-in via Austria’s official digital identity

Everything works without ID Austria too — you then enter the details yourself.

From accident location to finished PDF

  1. The dashboard brings together new reports, join codes, emergency help, location support and recent report history.

    • Start a new report
    • Join by code
    • Emergency numbers at hand
  2. The first step captures time, location, injuries, additional damage and important context in a structured flow.

    • Date and time
    • Address or location
    • Injuries and other damage
  3. The standardized checklist separates vehicle A and B so the circumstances are documented without deciding fault on site.

    • Separate A and B columns
    • Selection instead of blame
    • Selected item count
  4. The sketch lets you place vehicles, arrows, roads and markers. The map can be refreshed or repositioned.

    • Place vehicles and arrows
    • Reload the map
    • Add sketch notes
  5. Damaged areas are marked directly on vehicle diagrams so each damage point remains tied to the correct vehicle.

    • Marks per vehicle
    • Multiple damage points
    • Review before continuing
  6. Photos of the scene and damage can be added directly, with reminders to avoid unnecessary sensitive content.

    • Camera or gallery
    • Up to 10 photos
    • Sensitive content reminder
  7. The review screen brings together time, location, sketch, damage marks and other details before the report is signed.

    • Accident details at a glance
    • Review sketch and damage
    • Spot missing data
  8. At the end, both parties sign on the touchscreen. The finished report can then be generated as a PDF and shared.

    • Sign on the phone
    • Status per party
    • PDF after completion

What the app covers in practice

The functions are designed for the situation right after an accident: capture quickly, agree jointly, document legibly and share a complete PDF.

Live report with the other party

A report can be shared so that both accident parties see the same state and sign at the end.

Multilingual interface

The interface is available in 13 languages, which helps especially in cross-border accidents or with foreign-language participants.

Location and map

Address, location and map section support a traceable accident sketch.

Photo and damage documentation

Photos, damage markings and comments are captured where they are needed later in the report.

OCR for documents

When scan functions are used, driving licence or insurance data can be transferred more quickly.

PDF in standard structure

The finished report combines the information in a format based on the European Accident Report.

Frequently asked questions about the app preview

Do I need to install an app?

No. Unfallbericht.at runs in the browser. You open the website on your smartphone and start the report online after signing in.

Can the other person join without an account?

Before someone can participate in an accident report, at least the essential personal information must be provided. The second party can then join via invitation code or QR code. This allows one shared report to be agreed on site and signed later.

Is the accident sketch created automatically?

Based on the accident location you provide, a sketch of the road layout at the accident location is created automatically. You can place additional elements such as traffic signs, vehicles or road sections as needed.

Which data should I prepare?

Ideally, you should fill in your own data in advance so that, in the event of an accident, you can focus on documenting what happened.

Is the signature an admission of fault?

No. The accident report documents the facts. Legal or insurance assessment is handled by the insurance company, authority, court or other competent body.
