Best Answer

Before any passport is issued, the passport applicant's name is checked against a central name check system. A federal or state law enforcement investigative agency may request (address below) that a subject be placed in the passport name check system for notice before issuance even when there is no subject, the statute under which the subject is being investigated, and the agency address and phone warrant or other court order. The request should be in writing, and should include full biodata of the number of the officer to be contacted.

The answer is yes. It is possible to get a passport with a warrant out for your arrest. As long as your name isn't in the central name check system you will be fine. The only why your name would be in this system is if a request is put in by law enforcement. So if you for example Killed someone and are running then it's a bad idea but for a warrant lets say for probation violation you will be fine.

If it is a federal arrest warrant and the severity of the charge will affect the issuance of passport.

A federal, State or local (and in some cases foreign) law enforcement agency may obtain information from U.S. passport files for official use by sending a signed written request on agency letterhead, including the subject's name, date of birth, place of birth, other identifying information, and the reason for the request (i.e., statute under which investigation is being done). Authenticated copies of records are available upon written request. Requests should be addressed to:

U.S.Department of State

If you have a warrant for a traffic violation, it is still possible to get a passport. If you have a warrant outstanding for a felony, you are definitely not going to be able to get a passport.

Yes, it will be. However, consider this.... if you try to use it to leave the country and Homeland Security checks it against their database, IF the warrant was placed in the nationwide computer system you run the risk of being arrested at the airport.

Can you get a passport when there is a warrant for your arrest in IN?

Sure. It just might be a while before you can actually use it. The answer is somewhat right! Yes you can get a passport with a warrant out for you. The only way you wouldn't be able is if your name is in the central name check system. Now the only way it would be in their is if a law enforcement officer requested it. So if for example you committed a murder then mostly its in the system but if you have a warrant for lets say a probation violation or a fail er to appear then you will be fine. The only thing is if your fly into the state you have the warrant in then you may get stopped at the airport that's a 50/50 chance!

What if you were arrested and the warrant was not active?

Define a "not active" warrant. If the warrant was witdrawn or quashed and it was not removed from "the system" due to clerical error you will be released. The officer or agency that arrested you will not be held liable but you may have a cause for action against the jurisdiction that failed to remove it from active status.
