there are no questions are far as criminal convictions on the passport application. the final decision is up to the state department. if you have questions, this is the link to contact them at:\n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/passport/about/npic/npic_898.html\n\nas far as entering another country, check the foreign entry requirements with the country's embassy or consulate. some of them have restrictions on admitting those with a record.\n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/brochures/brochures_1229.html

you have to get a passport from your own country.  Do you have a passport to be in the US?

You can enter through pretty much any border city you want. If you are coming from the US you will need to show your drivers license or passport, and your birth certificate if they ask for it. If you are flying the same thing, but soon you will need a passport for both (Jan 2007 for air, Jan 2008 for ground)

Bring your passport and your personal identification  (Driver's license or US State ID) or a birth certificate.  You do not need to have any specific documents unless you plan to have an extended stay. If you plan to work or have an extended stay you should contact the state department of the country you plan to visit or work in and obtain paperwork from them.  It depends upon what it is you want to do - school or work, how long you want to stay.  Once you have done that paperwork crossing the border is easy.  Have the documents available for the immigration official who will be interviewing you.  Going into Canada is not usually a problem.  Getting back into the US is the catchy part.  Make sure you have all of the things you purchased in Canada available w/ receipts and all of the ID i mentioned.. Be honest and don't bring in/back anything that is illegal to have in the country you are entering.

Yes - you must have a valid Passport.

Yes, a valid US Passport. Below are the requirements (new) for US residents to legally enter Canada.

Yes. You are currently required to produce your drivers license as identification at the border. In the next few years you will need a passport to make the crossing.\n\nCanada will also do a criminal records check and may deny entry if you have a criminal history or open warrants.

You will need a passport and a visa to work or go to school. You can apply for landed immigrant status once you get here but that can be expensive. If you are granted that then you can go through the process of getting citizenship if you like.

Depends where you are from. Contact the Costa Rican embassy or consulate in your home country.\n\nIt's a safe bet you need at least a passport if you are from an English spealking country, though.

If you are a USA citizen, you do not need a reason to obtain a passport.  I dont understand your condition fully but you are not telling the full story.  By law you do not need a REASON to obtain a passport unless you have a criminal history that would allow any country to refuse you entry but this is not common at all.  You dont have to give a solid reason for passport application. One reason that is easily accepted is "vacation" which can be justified by saying or stateing on the form that you may take future vacation trips.  Passport application can and should always be done by mail and as long as you fill the required questions then passport is issued without you ever meeting any immigration officer (this is the cae in the USA and I am hopeing that you are a american).  If you are not a american which by your case tells me that you are NOT then each countries laws differ and thus you need to specify where in the world (countr) you are so yahoo users can help you with your question.  BUT if are in the USA then apply by mail and do not specify execrt location for travel plans and make sure you do not have a history of criminal back ground........oh I can go on and on, on this issue but I think you get the point.  Need more help then add more detail to your questions for more advice................good luck....

You need a passport to travel outside the US.  Currenlty, you can go to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Cananda and when you return to the US you can enter back into the US with a copy of your driver's license.  Starting in 2007 you will have to have a passport to re-enter the USA from Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.\n\nTo enter other countries (than the ones listed above), you need a passport.  In fact, IF you are are flying to another country they will not let you board the plane without a passport.\n\nA passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity and nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave most foreign countries. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports.\n\nHere is the passport site for the US government: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html

Ask for some form of identification such as passport, driver's licence, identification card, birth certificate or go to the Periodic Table of Elements.

Yes you have to get a passport for everyone in your family and it expires every five years for kids and every ten years for adults.\nOkay first you obtain a passport application from the post office or you can download one from the internet. Then take two passport pictures for everyone in your family and like your kids don’t have picture ID’s you can take your picture ID or driver's license to the post office and that’ll do for both of your kids. You  need your family's original birth certificate and also money to pay for the passport and then you take all that to the post office.   \nAsk them how long it will take for your passports to arrive. \n\nI had to get my passport a week ago and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I hope this helped you :)
