boyfriend help: My boyfriend is a convicted felon and we are planning to go to Europe (Amsterdam, Paris, Florence, and Rome). - Help.com

You have to go to his parroll officer and probably in front the judge I would imagine
what did he do?

Is he still on parole or probation? If so, most likely he cannot leave. If he has a felony, but no probation/parole (completed), he can apply for a passport and his case will be reviewed. He may be denied depending on the nature of the conviction and whether or not he is a threat to national security. If he is denied all around, he will have to wait until he is eligable for a governor’s pardon. (Check to see requirments for this as it usually takes many years of unrepeated behavior to become eligable.)
