Passport is Expiring from Morocco soon

[Peace.... 281]

Hello,

My husband is from Morocco and his passport is going to expire March 2012. Is there anyone with any experience in his process? Do we actually have to go to the New York Consulate for fingerprints, etc.? or do we do this with the Consulate in Morocco?

The moroccan consulate has a traveling caravan that he might can meet up with if you check the dates. That may be easier?

I have googled about the traveling caravan but I cannot come up with any information re: Moroccan traveling caravan. Do you know where to locate this website? Thank you
