Is a criminal backround check required when applying for a U.S. Passport???
Answer:
I believe so, but there are alternatives and loop holes, that you can legitimately use. A month is too short a time, to apply for a pass port, in any case. You will have to, pay alot of expensive fees. Talk to legal aid and the proper officials, pronto.
yes especially since 9/11
Yeah a criminal record is compulsory
I certainly hope so!
YES. And with all the security checks in place now; you won't have time to get a passport.
It all depends on where you are going to go. If you are just traveling Mexico, you can use your state issued ID or Driver's License. I believe that Canada is beginning to only accept Passports. You should check with the US State Department. You will have to pass a criminal background check in order to get a US Passport. You can pay an additional fee in order to have the passport put through quicker. Check with the following website for passport information as well as online application.
If you are currently on parole, or have been found guilty of a felony, you will have difficulty traveling to certain countries. Again, check with the US State Department.
I believe so. It takes 6 weeks to get it back because they have to do a check but you can pay more and get it in 2 weeks.
If you are an American citizen applying for an American passport, a criminal background check is not done when you are applying for an American passport. Your criminal record does not have anything to do with your applying for your American passport. There is no questions regarding your criminal record in your passport application.
As an American citizen, you are entitled to an American passport. Your criminal record check will be a problem when you try to go to some countries that may do a criminal record check on you.
I am a dual citizen (born in USA/naturalized Canadian). I recently applied for my US passport and received it in exactly 2 weeks and it cost me $97 US and is valid for 10 years.
If you killed someone, the police are going to catch you at the airport anyways.
As passport can be issued in one day (Los Angeles) and does not require a fingerprint before issuance, how could they do a criminal check?

The Passport Services Office provides information and services to American citizens about how to obtain, replace or change a passport.
A 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.
New Application for a U.S. Passport
To obtain a passport for the first time, you need to go in person to one of 9,000 passport acceptance facilities located throughout the United States with two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license.
Acceptance facilities include many Federal, state and probate courts, post offices, some public libraries and a number of county and municipal offices. There are also 13 regional passport agencies, and 1 Gateway City Agency, which serve customers who are traveling within 2 weeks (14 days), or who need foreign visas for travel. Appointments are required in such cases.
You’ll need to apply in person if you are applying for a U.S. passport for the first time: if your expired U.S. passport is not in your possession; if your previous U.S. passport has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago; if your previous U.S. passport was issued when you were under age 16; or if your currently valid U.S. passport has been lost or stolen.
