I traveled to the BVI this past November on a passport that was expiring 4 months later. No problem. But if you have the time to renew it before your trip that would be better.

I remember reading through one or two of these threads in the past. The general advice at the end of the day was basically what the two previous responses said. If there is time, why not just go ahead and do it now? Thanks for the reminder, I just put an appointment in my calendar to remind me a year ahead of my next expiration. Boy does the time fly... https://www.usa.gov/passport recommends renewing 9 months before you expire. With a June 9 trip and a passport expiring this year, if it was my passport, I would just go ahead and pay for the regular expediting and get it done now.

There's certainly no need to pay for expedited service now, for a passport expiring in June. People have been reporting a turnaround of about two weeks in many cases, even without expediting.
All of us have had experiences with people who think that they are much more important than they really are, making mountains out of molehills to make themselves seem more important. Have your buddy go ahead and get the passport renewed, now..

If it were me, I'd go ahead and renew just in case. But as I mentioned last year ( link here), we traveled to the BVI with only a couple of weeks left on my wife's passport, and had no problem. Dan
