Orange County
Orlando sits in Orange County. If your crash happened inside Orlando city limits, the Orlando Police Department wrote the report, and the city points you to the state crash portal. Get checked by a doctor, ask the officer for the case number, and take photos of both cars and the intersection before anything moves.
Free. Not legal advice. Starting a case check does not mean we represent you.

Orlando Police Department Records
Orlando sends people to the state crash portal for most reports. The city page spells out who can request one.
01
The Orlando page says the crash must have happened in the City of Orlando and that you must be the driver, or named on the report as a person involved. Its online request covers crashes since 2011. For an older crash, the city sends you to its own records request.
City of Orlando02
The city lists what the request needs: the case number, the crash date, the driver name, and a credit or debit card to pay with. Pull the case number off the paper the officer handed you at the scene so you do not have to guess.
City of Orlando03
Orlando routes the request to the state crash portal. You search, pay the fee the portal lists, and get an email with a download link. That link expires, so open it on a phone or computer where you can save the file.
Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles04
Orlando explains that a driver in a crash with vehicle or property damage that did not need a law enforcement report can self report. You fill out the Driver Self Report of Traffic Crash form and email or mail it to the state crash records office.
City of OrlandoAgencies change their forms, portals and fees. Open the linked page before you pay for anything, and keep a copy of every request you send.
Federal fatal-crash counts, 2022 to 2024
That is 5.5% of every fatal crash the federal file records in the state over the same three years.
These are crashes in which at least one person died within 30 days, as counted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They are not a count of all crashes, injuries, insurance claims or lawsuits, and most crashes are not in this file at all.
The counts are not adjusted for population, road miles or how much people drive, so they cannot say one place is more dangerous than another. A crash appearing here does not show who was at fault, whether anyone was insured or whether anyone has a claim.
Questions
Orlando sends you to the state crash portal. Have the case number, the crash date, the driver name and a card ready. The crash has to have happened in the City of Orlando, and you have to be the driver or someone named on the report. The state emails a download link.
Look at the agency name on the crash form. If the crash was inside Orlando city limits, the police department worked it. Outside the city, state troopers often do, because FHP says it is not common practice to work incidents inside city limits. Either report ends up in the state portal.
Orlando explains the driver self report. If the crash damaged a vehicle or property and did not need a law enforcement report, the driver fills out the Driver Self Report of Traffic Crash form and sends it to the state crash records office by email or by mail. Keep your own copy.

A quick reality check
This page cannot decide fault, medical cause, insurance coverage, legal deadlines, case value or whether you have a claim. Those questions depend on the complete facts, records, state law and a licensed attorney's review.
