What if I was put on probation in another state but I don’t live there?

You must be supervised in the state in which you reside, which is considered the receiving state for the purposes of the interstate transfer of supervision case. The probation officer in the state in which you were adjudicated, or the sending state, will issue you a travel permit and will submit a transfer of supervision request through the state compact office.

If you don’t have a legal guardian in the sending state, and your legal guardian lives in the receiving state, the transfer of supervision cannot be denied. However, the probation officer in the state in which you reside is still required to do a home evaluation visit.
