No you don't even need a passport to travel to the DR
If you have a passport, sure you can.
No help at all really. A pardon generally only means that you are forgiven by the Governor for whatever offense you committed. The record of the crime will still exist on your record, as will the record of the pardon.
IN CANADA YOU CAN GET A PARDON AFTER 3 YEARS. THIS WILLCLEAR YOUR PREVIOUS RECORD AS LONG AS THERE ARE NO RECENT OFFENCES.
In Canada, you must fill an application for a pardon. You can hire somebody to do it for you - the cost will be about 550$. If you do it by yourself, there is a fee of 50 $ for the form plus the fees to obtain a copy of your criminal record.
Not usually. Normally, a pardon is just a pardon from prison, but the charge is still on your record.
You won't get pardoned if you're not serving time. A pardon does not make your record go away; it means the governor "forgives" you for your crime, and determines that there's no need for you to remain incarcerated. You will still have a record.
You can apply for a pardon, and clear it off your record. Usually there is no problem with getting a misdemeanour pardon, as long as you have a clean record since then.
A pardon does not erase or remove a felony conviction from your record. However, it may grant you legal forgiveness and restore certain rights that were revoked due to the conviction, such as the right to vote or own firearms. The conviction will still appear on your record, but the pardon can help mitigate some of the negative consequences associated with it.
Yes, a pardon is NOT an exoneration of guilt, and since it is not an expungement, it will be in their criminal history record.
It is almost impossible to get a felony off your record. The only way to get a felony conviction off your record is to get a pardon.
The technical difference is that anexpungement simply removes a criminal record. You were found guilty punished and now you want that record gone. Depending on the type of pardon the record of the incident is not "erased" you are simply forgiven of the wrong doing. Some States will treat a pardon the same as an expungement, some will not. You will need to determine how your State or local jurisdiction handles the two.
Yes the governor can pardon any crime committed in the state where they govern. But DWIs usually aren't pardoned.
