Urgent US passport
Folks
I'm helping my nephew in NYC whose passport expired and is due to travel on Tues. He's 7 and his passport expired back in April
What's the best way to get a new passport turned around on Monday itself? Are the instructions in this link the best option or is there another one I should be following?

That's the best one. Lucky he is in NYC. One of the parents should call right now. It won't be a problem getting a passport by the end of the day tomorrow if travel is on Tuesday AM and by Tuesday AM if the travel is later on Tuesday.
His parents should be able to obtain a passport tomorrow. They will pay fees for expedited service and may need to spend the day getting things done. All of the forms they need are available online and they should print them and complete them tonight. Passport photos ought to be available onsite or thereabouts. They should follow the directions carefully and bring proof of the Tuesday travel.
Remember that for a minor's passport, there is a special form signed by both parents and that if the child only has one parent that documentation of the reasons for that, e.g., adoption papers, divorce decree, death certificate (of other parent) must also be provided.
