RELEASE OF FLORIDA TRAFFIC ACCIDENT REPORTS
Section 316.066, Florida Statutes, governs the completion and subsequent distribution of traffic crash reports. Traffic crash reports are exempt from public disclosure, except for parties involved in the crash and other specific parties outlined in the statute. This statute also provides criminal penalties (third-degree felony) for the unlawful disclosure of confidential personal information and for unlawfully obtaining or attempting to obtain confidential personal information.
Anyone claiming one of the exemptions outlined in the statute must submit a Request for Traffic Crash Report Information waiver in person (which can be found with the Records Department) and present a valid photo ID (or qualifications) when receiving the requested report.
You also have the option to purchase copies of the crash report through Florida’s Official Crash Portal at services.flhsmv.gov
