Renunciation of Indian Citizenship and Obtaining Surrender Certificate

[immihelp]

I have a question regarding the Renunciation of Indian Citizenship and Obtaining Surrender Certificate, we are planning a trip to India next month. My father has an Indian passport that has been expired and is a US citizen. Does he have to the certificate prior to the trip and if he does, can he mail the US passport to get 6 month India Vistor Visa at the same time of the certificate. As you can see, we have limited time to complete everything.

I hope you can help or pass this along to someone that could assist.

Thank you
