Florida HSMV Form 94010 Sworn Statement for Crash Report – If you need a copy of a Florida traffic crash report, especially within the first 60 days after it is filed, you will almost certainly need HSMV Form 94010, the official Sworn Statement for Crash Report issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). This form is required by Florida law to protect the privacy of parties involved in motor vehicle crashes while allowing eligible individuals and entities timely access.
What Is Florida HSMV Form 94010?
HSMV Form 94010 is the official sworn statement required to request a Florida Traffic Crash Report. The current revision is dated 03/2023. The form serves two main purposes:
- Section One – Allows eligible parties to obtain a crash report within 60 days of filing under Florida Statute § 316.066(2)(b).
- Section Two – Provides the required Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) certification for requests made 60 days or more after the report is filed.
Crash reports that contain personal information (names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, etc.) are confidential and exempt from public disclosure for 60 days after the report is filed. Form 94010 is the mechanism that allows qualified requesters to access the report during this restricted period.

Florida Statute § 316.066 governs written reports of crashes. Key provisions relevant to Form 94010 include:
- Crash reports revealing personal information of parties involved are confidential for 60 days after filing.
- During the 60-day period, reports may be released only to specific categories of people and entities listed in the statute.
- As a condition of access, the requester must file a written sworn statement affirming that the information will not be used for commercial solicitation of crash victims.

After 60 days, reports may be released more broadly to any person or entity that qualifies under the permissible uses listed in the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (18 U.S.C. § 2721(b)).
