Esto significa que muchos delincuentes condenados no son autom\u00e1ticamente rechazados, pero ciertas condenas o restricciones judiciales pueden cambiar el resultado.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_Purpose_of_a_US_Passport\"><\/span>Entender el prop\u00f3sito del pasaporte de Estados Unidos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un pasaporte estadounidense es un documento de identidad que acredita la ciudadan\u00eda estadounidense y permite a una persona viajar internacionalmente. Para obtener un pasaporte, el solicitante generalmente debe demostrar su identidad y ciudadan\u00eda y presentar la documentaci\u00f3n requerida a trav\u00e9s de la Oficina de Inmigraci\u00f3n y Naturalizaci\u00f3n de los Estados Unidos (USCIS).&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/immigration\/visas\/passport-resources.html\">Proceso de solicitud de pasaporte<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Criminal_Charges_May_Affect_Passport_Applications\"><\/span>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 los cargos penales pueden afectar las solicitudes de pasaporte?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las acusaciones penales pueden afectar el pasaporte cuando el caso incluya una orden federal, una orden judicial del tribunal penal, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justia.com\/criminal\/parole-and-probation\/\">Restricciones en la libertad condicional o la libertad vigilada<\/a>, Solicitudes de extradici\u00f3n, o leyes federales especiales que involucren el tr\u00e1fico de drogas o delitos sexuales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En otras palabras, el problema con el pasaporte generalmente se debe a las consecuencias legales del caso, y no solo a la calificaci\u00f3n de delito grave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Federal_Laws_That_Can_Prevent_Someone_From_Getting_a_Passport\"><\/span>Leyes federales que pueden impedir que alguien obtenga un pasaporte<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La ley federal enumera ciertas situaciones en las que se puede negar, limitar o marcar con restricciones el uso de un pasaporte. Estas normas son importantes porque indican que algunos casos de delitos graves generan problemas directos con el pasaporte, mientras que otros no lo hacen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El delito exacto, la pena y si hubo implicaci\u00f3n de fronteras internacionales pueden influir en el resultado.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Denial_of_Passports_for_Drug_Trafficking_Convictions\"><\/span>Denegaci\u00f3n de pasaportes por condenas por tr\u00e1fico de drogas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En virtud de&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/us\/2011\/title-22\/chapter-38\/section-2714\/\">22 U.S.C. \u00a7 2714<\/a>, Algunas condenas por tr\u00e1fico de drogas pueden resultar en la denegaci\u00f3n o restricci\u00f3n del pasaporte, especialmente cuando la infracci\u00f3n involucra cruzar fronteras internacionales o utilizar un pasaporte durante la comisi\u00f3n del delito.

Esto suele ocurrir cuando el tribunal o las autoridades policiales han tomado medidas que limitan la posibilidad de viajar.

Una vez levantadas las restricciones penales vigentes, el delito anterior ya no impedir\u00e1 autom\u00e1ticamente la obtenci\u00f3n del pasaporte, a menos que el caso se incluya en una categor\u00eda especial, como el tr\u00e1fico de drogas a trav\u00e9s de fronteras internacionales o un delito sexual contemplado por la ley federal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eligibility_After_Probation_or_Parole_Ends\"><\/span>Calificaci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de que finalice la condicional o la libertad condicional<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El Departamento de Estado dice que las personas que est\u00e1n en libertad condicional o cumplen la libertad condicional pueden <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports\/legal-matters\/surrendered-passport.html\">Solicitar un nuevo pasaporte<\/a>, Sin embargo, deben incluir pruebas de que el proceso de supervisi\u00f3n ha finalizado, como una notificaci\u00f3n de despido del oficial de libertad condicional, una carta de terminaci\u00f3n del contrato o una orden judicial que ponga fin a la libertad condicional o la libertad vigilada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_a_Prior_Felony_No_Longer_Affects_Passport_Eligibility\"><\/span>Cuando una infracci\u00f3n penal anterior ya no afecta a la elegibilidad para el pasaporte<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/legalblogs\/criminal-defense\/when-can-old-prior-convictions-be-used-against-me\/\">Condena previa por delito grave<\/a> A menudo deja de afectar la elegibilidad del pasaporte una vez cumplida la condena y no se aplican restricciones federales especiales. Sin embargo, las personas deber\u00edan verificar si los antecedentes han sido eliminados, si existen cuestiones pendientes ante los tribunales y si a\u00fan persisten cualquier otra consecuencia legal del caso anterior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_International_Travel_May_Still_Be_Restricted_After_a_Felony\"><\/span>C\u00f3mo el viaje internacional a\u00fan puede estar restringido tras un delito grave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obtener un pasaporte v\u00e1lido y poder entrar en un pa\u00eds extranjero no son lo mismo. Una persona a\u00fan puede obtener un pasaporte de los Estados Unidos y, posteriormente, ser rechazada para entrar en otros pa\u00edses debido a antecedentes penales, registros de DUI, delitos relacionados con drogas, condenas por violencia o otras normas locales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Countries_That_Restrict_Entry_for_Criminal_Records\"><\/span>Pa\u00edses que restringen la entrada por antecedentes penales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por ejemplo, Canad\u00e1 dice que las personas que hayan cometido o sido condenadas por un delito pueden ser consideradas criminalmente inadmisibles, incluso por delitos como robo, agresi\u00f3n, conducci\u00f3n peligrosa, DUI y delitos relacionados con drogas. Por lo tanto, incluso si alguien consigue un pasaporte, su entrada en ese pa\u00eds a\u00fan puede ser denegada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_Restrictions_for_Drug_and_Violence-Related_Offenses\"><\/span>Restricciones de viaje para delitos relacionados con drogas y violencia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los delitos relacionados con el tr\u00e1fico de drogas y la violencia pueden crear problemas adicionales para viajar, ya que algunos pa\u00edses revisan cuidadosamente los registros penales y pueden prohibir la entrada. Una persona que planea viajar internacionalmente deber\u00eda investigar previamente las normas del pa\u00eds de destino, ya que las culturas, las leyes de entrada y las pol\u00edticas fronterizas var\u00edan de un estado a otro y de un pa\u00eds a otro.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_if_Your_Passport_Application_Is_Denied\"><\/span>Qu\u00e9 hacer si se rechaza su solicitud de pasaporte<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La denegaci\u00f3n de un pasaporte no siempre significa que la situaci\u00f3n sea definitiva. El primer paso consiste en conocer la raz\u00f3n exacta de la denegaci\u00f3n, reunir la documentaci\u00f3n necesaria y determinar si el problema se debe a una orden judicial, una deuda pendiente de manutenci\u00f3n infantil, una supervisi\u00f3n activa o una ley federal especial. El asesoramiento jur\u00eddico puede ayudar a una persona a comprender el proceso y evitar nuevos errores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requesting_Court_Permission_to_Travel\"><\/span>Solicitud de autorizaci\u00f3n judicial para viajar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si el problema de viaje se debe a una orden judicial, libertad condicional o libertad bajo fianza, la persona podr\u00eda necesitar solicitar permiso al tribunal antes de volver a solicitarlo o intentar viajar al extranjero. La aprobaci\u00f3n escrita del tribunal puede ser una prueba importante en el proceso de obtenci\u00f3n del pasaporte.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Working_With_a_Criminal_Defense_Lawyer\"><\/span>Trabajar con un abogado de defensa penal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un abogado de defensa penal o fiscal puede revisar el expediente criminal, los documentos judiciales y los t\u00e9rminos de la condena para determinar qu\u00e9 es lo que realmente impide que se pueda obtener el pasaporte. Esto puede ser especialmente \u00fatil en casos en los que se trate de un delito federal, antecedentes penales, tr\u00e1fico de drogas o una cuesti\u00f3n sobre si el pasaporte fue revocado o denegado de forma correcta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Preguntas frecuentes (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773449077992\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>\u00bfPueden los delincuentes condenados obtener un pasaporte?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A menudo, s\u00ed.
