GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Offenders are to obtain permission to travel out of any designated area or district not
allowed as outlined by their supervising PPO. Sex offenders generally will not be authorized
to travel outside of their assigned district. The offender must carry the signed travel permit
with them at all times and must produce said travel permit upon request by any law
enforcement agency, IDOC personnel or it's designees.
International Travel: Travel outside the United States and its Territories (Virgin Islands,
Puerto Rico) is generally not allowed. In those cases where International Travel is
requested, the supervising officer shall first staff the case with the District Manager. If
approval is granted, the District Judge or Parole Commission and Immigration and
Naturalization Service should be notified. Should any of these parties object to the travel,
the request should be denied.
