This is usually dependent upon the time you were convicted but none the less, you can still apply for one especially when you are already out of prison or have been granted a full parole and is a free person.

ANYONE can apply for a passpsort. Whether you you can use it, or not, remains a matter for the court. If you have restrictions on your travel or movement, you may have one, but be unable to use it, and in some instances the court may require you to surrender it.

If you were CONVICTED of Murder, you would not be able to leave prison and travel anywhere.

Yes you may, because nothing in Federal law on passports disqualifies a person convicted of a felony from obtaining a passport for that reason alone.

Obviously not everyone convicted of murder spends the rest of their lives in prison. Even convicted murderers are released at the end of their sentence (if a person is sentenced to a fixed term of years) or they may be paroled after serving a portion of an fixed or indefinite term. Convicts sentenced to terms like "25 years to life are at least eligible for parole after the expiration of a portion of the sentence depending on the laws governing the situation.

Practical problems do exist, such as being unable to apply in person if required while confined. Also, a condition of parole might be surrendering a passport or the right to one. The point is that a conviction for murder does not of itself deprive a person of the right to get a passport
