    Can I get a Passport with a felony record
    Can I get a passport with a felony arrest on my record?

    I'm not on parole, and will be finished with probation in 2 months.

    Also, the Judge has given me clearance to travel on vacation with my family. It is documented on my probation papers that I am able to leave the state.

    Yes you can get a passport, but depending where you are going you might want to contact that countries embassy and asked if you are allowed to go there. Some countries will not let you in with a criminal record.

    Hi,



    My name is Kyle and I am a client services specialist that has experience in assisting individuals with criminal records who would like to travel to the United States. Upon reviewing the posts on this blog, I would like to clarify a few myths regarding cross boarder travel. Many Canadians believe that a conviction that happened during their adolescents or early adulthood will not affect their ability to travel into the United States, they simply believe that as long as they have a valid passport they will be granted entry. Unfortunately, this is far from the truth. As previously stated boarder patrol officials have access to CPIC which will allow them to pull up your criminal record when checking your passport. Moreover, if you are denied entry into the United States you will be required to obtain a US Entry Waiver which can become a very expensive document that may only be valid for one year.



    There are many Pardon Services in Canada that can assist those in need. A pardon acknowledges that you have repaid your debt to society and that you are entitled to a fresh start (which, of course includes travel to the United States). Don't cut yourself or your loved ones short from experiencing the wonderful sights and places the United States has to offer such as Disney Land or Las Vegas! Give a new meaning to both life and the term I Beg Your "Pardon!"

    You don't get a passport to anywhere. Passports are issued by the country of your nationality. I believe you mean to ask whether you can get a visa to the Philippines.
