How to fill in the Slovak accident report (Správa o nehode)
Both drivers fill in the Slovak accident report form, Správa o nehode, together at the scene. The tips below go through it part by part and apply to the paper form and to this app, in which you fill it in on your phone.
Safety first
- Secure the scene: switch on the hazard lights, put on a reflective vest when you get out and set up the warning triangle.
- If anyone is injured, give first aid and call 112.
Accident date and location
- The date and time are pre-filled with an estimate. Check them and correct them to the actual time of the accident.
- Describe the place so it can be found: street and house number or junction; outside towns, the road and kilometre; or GPS coordinates.
- Always fill in the country, even for an accident in Slovakia.
Accident information
- Injuries: answer Yes even for a minor injury. Give the injured person first aid, call 112 or 155, and report the accident to the police on 158.
- Other vehicles means any vehicle except A and B. Other objects are, for example, a crash barrier, fence, traffic sign or cargo.
- If the road or equipment next to it (for example traffic lights) is out of use, call the police. If you damaged property of someone who was not involved, you must inform them and fill in the form with them too.
- Witnesses: name, address and phone. Witnesses who belong to neither vehicle are the most valuable; mark passengers as passengers.
Vehicle A and vehicle B
- The letters A and B only tell the vehicles apart; they do not say who caused the accident.
- Each driver fills in parts 6 to 14 for their own vehicle. Copy the details from the documents: the registration certificate, the insurance document and the driving licence.
- The form is for two vehicles. If more vehicles were involved, fill in another report.
6. Policyholder / insured person
- The person or company that holds the vehicle's compulsory motor insurance. You find it on the insurance policy or the insurance document.
- It need not be the driver: for a company or borrowed car it is, for example, the company or the owner.
- Give a phone number or e-mail where the insurer can reach the policyholder.
7. Vehicle
- The registration number and the country of registration matter most; check them on the vehicle itself.
- The make and model are in the vehicle registration certificate.
8. Insurance company
- Copy the details from the insurance document (green card or certificate of compulsory motor insurance): insurer, policy number, green card number and its validity.
- Fill in the branch or agent only if you know it.
- Comprehensive insurance: Yes if the vehicle also has comprehensive (casco) cover.
9. Driver
- Enter whoever actually drove the vehicle at the time of the accident, even if they are not the owner or policyholder.
- Copy the licence number, category (for example B) and validity from the driving licence.
10. Points of impact
- Mark with an arrow where the other vehicle or obstacle first hit the vehicle.
- Other damage does not need arrows; describe it in part 11.
11. Visible damage
- Describe only what you can see: what is damaged and how, for example a dented rear left door or a broken headlight.
- Do not estimate repair costs or hidden damage.
12. Circumstances
- Tick only the circumstances that really apply to your vehicle. If you are unsure, leave it unticked.
- The app adds the number of ticked boxes to the PDF so that none can be added later.
- “Was parked” and “was stopped” share one box on the form; the one that does not apply is struck out in the PDF.
14. Additional notes
- Here a driver can briefly describe their view of how the accident happened, or what they disagree with in the report.
- Keep it factual, without accusations.
13. Accident sketch
- Draw the road (lanes, junction), the direction of both vehicles with arrows, and their positions at the moment of impact.
- Add traffic signs, right of way and street names if they matter.
- Label the vehicles A and B as in the report.
15. Signatures
- Sign only if you agree with the content of the report. Do not change the details after signing.
- If you do not agree on who caused the accident, do not sign and call the police on 158.
- Also call the police if someone is injured, if a driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if a driver refuses to show ID or to fill in and sign the form.
- Each driver should leave with a copy of the signed report (PDF).
The rules on calling the police follow the Slovak Act No. 8/2009 on road traffic (§ 64 and § 66), as in force from 1 October 2026.
