The Importance of Obtaining Your Traffic Crash Report

How to Obtain a Copy of Your Traffic Crash Report

In most situations, your crash investigation will be completed the same day of your incident and your report will be ready shortly after completion. You can pay a fee and request a copy of your traffic crash report from the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website.

To obtain a copy, you must provide:

• The crash date
• The county where it happened
• The last name of any party involved
• A credit card payment

Once you have everything needed and you purchase the report, you can download it immediately for use.
