Can a person on probation travel? 46 Answers as of October 24, 2011

Yes, he will need the permission of the judge to travel outside the area where he is on probation. That could be out of county, state, or country. He should consult with his probation officer to determine what steps he should take to get the judge's permission. Failure to do so could be a probation violation.

If he is on supervised probation, he needs permission to leave the county, let alone the country. Yes, he needs permission.

Normally this is an issue only when a person is on formal probation and supervised with a probation officer and then when the conditions of probation limit his travel. The safest thing is to advise the probation officer of the impending travel and secure his permission.

Usually you do need permission. Read the terms of probation. Notify the probation officer and request a "permission to travel." If it is out of state, some Courts require that a cash bond be posted.

There are two types of probation, formal and informal probation. A person on formal probation has a probation officer and must notify and get permission from his probation officer if he wants to travel out of the county. Informal probation is much more lax. There is no reporting to a probation officer and does not require any permission.

If your brother is on formal probation he will need permission. If he is on summary probation he is good to go.

Yes he can travel but needs permission of ppo. Going to another country may be prohibited by receiving country immigration laws. FYI Canada prohibits indictable offenses.

Yes. If your brother-in-law was to leave the country without permission, then he could be charged with violating the terms and conditions of his probation. This could result with the judge imposing the suspended sentence in his case. As a general rule, probation departments will allow individuals to travel outside of the country, especially in the cases like a funeral, so long as they are asked in advance and the probationer can provide some evidence of why they are traveling outside of the country. If the probation department was to deny the request, your brother-in-law or his attorney could file a motion with the judge asking that he be given permission to travel outside of the country for his father's funeral. The judge may want to see some proof attached to the motion, such as a death certificate, funeral paperwork, or newspaper article, which should be easy to obtain and provide to the judge.

It depends on the conditions of his probation, whether it is only for a misdemeanor or a felony. If it is only misdemeanor then he doesn't need to worry. If it's supervised, felony probation then he should clear it with his probation officer first to be safe.

If it is informal/summary probation, then he can travel anywhere he wants at any time. S

That depends on whether he is on court probation or probation with a probation officer.If he has a PO he is better off to ask than to be in trouble, especially if he is almost done.I don't know about what restrictions there may be on his passport if he is on probation.He may need to check with those people before trying to leave the country.

A person on probation is under certain restrictions, one of which may be not to travel outside of the jurisdiction without permission.

Yes he needs permission, or he could be charged with probation violation. He needs permission from the judge in most cases. An attorney can file a motion to get permission to travel out of state or out of the country.

Notify the probation officer, who can get the request to travel in front of the court, and if you can establish a good reason for the trip, I would guess he could travel, just do not do so without Order of Court granting your request.

He absolutely needs permission and it may not be granted. His probation officer will have to consult with the court liason officer or the court directly about getting permission so he needs to request permission immediately. If he travels without permission and his probation officer finds out, then his probation could be revoked.

Yes your friend will need to secure permission from the probation officer. Depending on the conviction, he may or may not be admitted to his father's country.

He should go to his probation officer with some sort of proofof the death like a death certificate. If he ison informal probation and the judge didn't specifically restrict him to the county, or California, he can go. I amassuming he has no appointments with probation that will happen when he is gone.

If formal probation, yes. If informal, usually no permission needed! If formal, ask probation officer, usually granted!

Usually, yes. But you need permission from your probation officer or the Court.

If it is formal probation, your brother needs to go to court and get the Judge's permission, i.e. - a court order allowing him to travel outside the U.S. There is no similar requirement if your brother is merely on Summary Probation or informal probation.
