Can a convicted felon travel outside of the united states?

Definitely yes, if all done with probation or parole. But, there may be restrictions involved with entering a country to which the felon wants to travel. So, it would be best to check the laws of the country where the travel is desired.

Actually I have read that you may be denied a passport depending on the crime and how long it has been, apply for the passport and then make sure the other country will accept your entry.

Hello kathy:

As Lowtax says, the State Department maintains that they can turn down a felon for a passport, but I don't believe they can. Apply, and if they turn you down, check back and I'll tell you what your next move should be.
