Recently had to perform this for a dependent family member due to online identity proofing failure when attempting to setup mail forwarding online. Super simple process. USPS provided a barcode via email, you can print or display on device. USPS staff scans barcode, requests identity documents, performs proofing, and upon approval, the exception flow completes and whatever action you requested proceeds. In and out in 5 minutes.
Really excited as this rolls out fully for Login.gov high IAL (identity assurance level) use cases (ie IRS logins). If someone from Login.gov can comment on why state IDs are accepted, but not US passports and other federal identity credentials, I would be interested!
(tangentially, behold, your government and two exceptional public goods [Login.gov and USPS] working for you efficiently and in public)
