What to Expect After Transfer Approval

Your supervising officer in the sending state will give you an exact date for when travel is allowed. Do not travel until both sending and receiving states have given permission. (See Rule 3.102)

Yes. You must share your travel plans, like a bus or plane ticket, so both states know how and when you’ll travel. Some states may also need more details, so check with your supervising officer or case manager before you go.

Talk with your supervising officer in the receiving state first. Usually, you can return if you are not being investigated or charged with a new crime. (See Rule 4.111)

Yes. Receiving states must supervise you like they do others in that state. This can include rewards, corrective actions, and other supervision rules. By agreeing to transfer, you also agree to follow any conditions from both states. (See Rule 4.101 and 4.103 (a))

Each situation is different. The receiving state may ask you to return if all ways of handling your behavior fail. The sending state can also retake you at any time since they still have authority over your supervision.

Only states can raise rule violations with each other. Individuals cannot take private action. If you have concerns, contact your sending state’s Compact office. You can search for your office HERE.
