Does the form work in Florida?
Florida uses one statewide statute. The registered owner can file an affidavit within 30 days naming the person who had the vehicle (name, address, date of birth), or report it sold or stolen. Filing a knowingly false affidavit is a misdemeanor. Note: Florida’s red-light program is the subject of ongoing litigation, but tickets remain active — always confirm current status with your court.
Statute: Fla. Stat. § 316.0083 (Mark Wandall Act). Active camera programs include Tampa, Orlando, Miami. Last verified June 2026. Confirm with your court before filing.
How to file in Florida
Three steps. Then one thing you should not do.
Make sure it’s true
Someone other than you genuinely had the car. The form is sworn.
File before the deadline
Submit by affidavit with the driver’s name, address, and date of birth, within 30 days of the notice of violation.
Let the court decide
They cancel it or set a hearing. Civil either way — no points.
Florida camera tickets: FAQ
If someone else was driving, can I get out of a camera ticket in Florida?
Yes. Florida lets the registered owner file an affidavit (Fla. Stat. § 316.0083 (Mark Wandall Act)) stating you weren’t the driver, naming the person who actually had the vehicle. A valid one can cancel the ticket. It must be true — it’s sworn under penalty of perjury.
How do I fight a traffic camera ticket in Florida?
If someone else was driving, file an affidavit (Fla. Stat. § 316.0083 (Mark Wandall Act)) — follow the steps above. If it was you, request a hearing to contest the citation itself. Either way these are civil tickets, so no license points.
What is the affidavit in Florida?
It’s a sworn statement to the court that the vehicle was in someone else’s control at the time of the camera infraction. File it by affidavit with the driver’s name, address, and date of birth, within 30 days of the notice of violation.
Do camera tickets in Florida put points on my license?
No. Automated red-light and speed camera citations in Florida are civil — they don’t add points to your driving record. Don’t pay the fine before filing, though — paying usually withdraws your right to declare.
Do I have to name who was driving in Florida?
Yes — Florida’s process requires you to identify the actual driver for liability to transfer to them. (Some states, like Washington and Oregon, don’t require this; Florida does.)
One rule: it has to be true.
This is a statement under penalty of perjury. If someone else really was driving, use it without hesitation. If you were the one driving, filing anyway is a crime far more serious than the ticket — just pay it or request a hearing.
