    Can You Still Get a Passport with a Misdemeanor Conviction
    I'm having concerns of getting a passport someday, but the problem is I have a misdemeanor arrest record. Even though it's been expunged would I still be able to get a passport?

    Why do you imagine that you can't get a passport?

    As I said before I have a record now so why the hell would they even give me a passport?

    Because having a record is NOT an automatic DQ for a passport. If none of those things apply to you, there doesn't appear to be any reason you would be denied a passport.

    How do you know you can't get a passport? You were shown the law that you can. You admit that nothing in the law applies to you.

    How about you stop trolling the site and find something else to?

    No I haven't applied and what's even the point? Hell I wanted to travel someday to the UK and Canada just to name a couple and as I said before its nothing drug/alcohol related and neither an assault charge, but as you just said I cant gain entry into a country now anyways.

    As you have been told an arrest without a conviction isn't going to block you from getting a passport. And the countries you mentions aren't going to block your entry. FOr that matter Canada doesn't even require a passport for entry by a US citizen.

    If you continue to argue this you will simply prove my characterization of you as a troll even though I think this thread as well as your others have already proven the issue.

    YOU HAVE NO CONVICTIONS. You will likely be able to go anywhere that somebody that was never charged can go.

    A quick review of Japan's visa requirements doesn't show where a single charge would be an issue. You may want to consult someone at a Japanese consul or embassy to verify but again, there don't appear to be any issues.
