QUESTION
Is it possible to appear and have the warrant removed so I can get my passport?
Asked on Feb 21st, 2017 on Criminal Law - Utah
More details to this question:
About 6 years ago I was in a bad state, using drugs, stealing etc. I was caught for using a credit card and charged with a 3rd degree felony. I didn't go to court because I decided my best option was to get out of the state and the people I was associated with. In that time, I have managed to go graduate from college, get a good job and support myself. The reason I need this handled ASAP is that I have a trip out of the country and am unable to obtain a passport with the felony warrant. Is it possible to have the warrant removed and the charge reduced with the promise to appear in court at a later date? This is my first and only charge of this magnitude on my record.

It depends on the judge, but most judges will not recall a felony warrant until the defendant appears in court.
