Traffic Crash Reports
If you wish to obtain a Traffic Crash Report Florida law requires that you complete a “Sworn Statement for Traffic Crash Report Information” form, indicating you are entitled to receive the report. Per Florida Statutes §316.066
Note:
Prior to 60 Days of Crash Report Traffic crash reports are confidential and prohibited from public review for sixty (60) days from the date the report was filed. Therefore, an affidavit is required prior to release. Some of those entitled to receive the report prior to 60 days are the parties involved in the crash, their legal representatives, their licensed insurance agents, their insurers, or insurers to which they have applied for coverage. If you wish to obtain an accident report prior to 60 days from the date of the report, Florida law requires that you complete an Affidavit for Crash Report (Prior to 60 days) indicating you are entitled to receive a copy of the report.
After 60 Days from Date of Crash Report Effective March 1, 2023, crash reports remain confidential after 60 days of crash. Crash reports are still available to those parties outlined above for reports made immediately available prior to 60 days. After 60 days, crash reports are also made available to a limited number of permissible uses as outlined in 18 U.S.C. 2725 (b) and (c). These permissible uses are included on the Affidavit for Crash Report Information (More than 60 days). If you qualify as a person for immediate release or as a permissible use, please complete the Affidavit for Crash Report (More than 60 days), provide requested information or documentation, and return the notarized form to us.
