Mr. Johnson, do I have your permission to record this conversation? vs Mr Johnson do I have your permission to record this conversation?

Both phrases are correct, but they differ in the use of a period after 'mr' in the first phrase. The first phrase includes a period after 'mr' as it is a common convention to use periods in titles like 'Mr.' in formal writing. The second phrase omits the period, which is also acceptable in less formal contexts.
