To activate SOAP it is necessary to:

• Report to the nearest police unit. The complaint must indicate the patents of the vehicles involved in the accident. This procedure may be done by a family member if the person concerned is prevented from doing so.
• Request from the Public Prosecutor’s Office or Local Police Court (JPL), as applicable, the certificate of finding of injury indicating the details of the claim.
• All these documents, plus certificates, ballots and medical invoices must be presented to the corresponding insurance company according to the company responsible for the bus route that caused the accident, to request reimbursement.
• If a passenger failed to take note of the bus patent, they can obtain it on the www.tarjetabip!.cl page with their bip! card number, as long as they have validated when boarding the bus.
