What if we have to move to a new state immediately? Can the transfer be expedited?

You must let your child’s supervising officer know immediately if you must relocate.  Depending on your circumstance, they will determine if a travel permit shall be issued for immediate travel or relocation, prior to a transfer of supervision case acceptance.

The receiving state is required to accept the transfer case if there is no legal guardian remaining in the sending state (where probation/parole was ordered) but there is a legal guardian in the receiving state (where you will live). 

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.
