Crash Portal

Once a Long Form or Short Form crash has transmitted to FLHSMV, it should be available on the Florida Crash Portal within 48 hours.

With the passing of Senate Bill 1614 (SB 1614) in March 2023, the State implemented strict rules as to who may obtain copies of crash reports that are less than 60 days old.   See FSS 316.066(2)(b) or the FLHSMV Important Information page for details.

TraCS does not post crashes to the portal.   We have no control over it or special access to it.   TraCS transmits accepted Long and Short Form crashes and Updates to the state and the state posts them to the portal within 48 hours of receiving them.

If a citizen or other requesting party is stating that their crash is not in the portal, check the following:

Is the crash a long Long Form (L) or Short Form (S) crash or an Update (U)?   Driver Exchange (D) crashes do not transmit.

Is the crash in Submitted status?   If not, it has not transmitted to the state.

Check the submission date.   If the submission date is within the past two days, it is too soon for the crash to be posted to the portal.   Allow at least 48 hours after the submission date for it to post.

If the crash is a Long Form or Short Form in Submitted status and the submission date is over 2 days old, the reason it's not showing on the portal may be one of the following:

The requestor may not meet the statutory exemptions to obtain a crash that is less than 60 days old.

They requestor is not be providing the proper proof of eligibility.

The requestor has the wrong agency case number or HSMV crash number.

Any inquiries regarding SB 1614, FSS 316.066(2)(b), or the crash portal should be directed to HSMV by emailing crashrecords@flhsmv.gov.
