u.s. student lost his chinese passport

Question

One of our Chinese students lost his passport after arriving in the US.  Does he need to go to the embassy in New York City (we are about 1 and 1/2 hours north) to get a replacement?  If so, does he need an appointment, and what documents should he prepare?After he applies for a replacement, can you tell us how long it would take to receive the new one?Thank you for your help.

Yes, he needs to go the embassy or the consulate where he resides in person and make an online appointment for the application to get a replacement. He can prepare  a completed application form, and 4 passport-style photos, copy of Chinese ID card, residence permit in the US, an introduction letter as well as other documents the consular officers consider necessary. The processing time for the replacement is undetermined.
