It depends on the fines. If they 're for minor traffic (parking etc.) it probably won't matter , but if they're for serious offenses involving probation etc., they might. I'd get the fines paid off!!!

I would have to know the details, but an outstanding criminal warrant would certainly have a detrimental effect in your ability to for apply and be granted a passport.

I don't think the two agencies can connect up. The passport people will never know.

Don't think it will be a problem unless fines & costs so old there is a warrant for you. Best to check at Post Office or with TSA.
