    The right to vote? They do not take that away from you... I have one and I can vote and get a passport.

    Again - old thread (from 2007). There are more recent threads which could use some attention.

    As far as passports - a passport is ID. ANYONE can get a passport. You could get a passport from prison if you could work out the details. The US doesn't care who leaves the country. It cares about who comes INTO the country. A passport does not guarantee you can enter ANOTHER country - for example, Canada - if you have a felony conviction.

    The right to vote varies by State. There is no "fits all" answer.

    Not quite true.
    For example, someone posted here a year or two ago, and I checked into it to find that, yes, there are regulations prohibiting the issuance of passports to persons who are supposedly delinquent in payment of child support. A very ill-advised (stupid, really, IMO) rule, but a rule none the less.

    There may be other conditions under which one can be denied a passport.

    A federal or state law enforcement agency may request the denial of a passport on several regulatory grounds under 22 CFR 51.70 and 51.72. The principal law enforcement reasons for passport denial are a federal warrant of arrest, a federal or state criminal court order, a condition of parole or probation forbidding departure from the United States (or the jurisdiction of the court), or a request for extradition. The HHS child support database and the Marshals Service WIN database are checked automatically for entitlement to a passport. Denial or revocation of a passport does not prevent the use of outstanding valid passports.

    Yes, you are correct. Something unresolved in a person's background can prevent a person from getting a passport; also, unpaid support which has been reported (as I recall "which has been reported" is the operative phrase) can prevent the issuance of a passport.

    The Government background check indicates the problems - and I've seen parole and probation restrictions NOT stated clearly; thus, passport issued!

    But, yes, you are correct and I think I remember when this was posted before. Should have remembered... but didn't.
