LibertyX (cash to BTC company) did something similar - at first you could only buy from stores that had Qpay (mobile phone top-up provider) and had signed up with LibertyX. Then they came to an agreement with Walgreens/CVS to allow users to pay cash and get Bitcoin at most or all CVS and Walgreens locations in the nation.
USPS and banks already verify photo IDs on a daily basis and they're not afraid to work with companies to provide an additional service if the money is right. The problem for something like USPS would be paying enough up front to make it worth training and educating at least one or two individuals at every single post office in the entire United States on how to verify and reset the passwords.
Although I suppose a similar measure using existing systems would be to send a code via registered mail with a post office hold - ensuring that even if someone is able to request a password reset, they have to also be able to go to the local post office of said person, with a fake photo ID of that person in hand. If it needs to be even more high-security to ensure USPS is following protocol, then users can opt to send a current photo of themselves on registration and instead of a password reset code, they'd receive a video chat code which allows a trained employee at EmailCompany to see and talk to them briefly and verify it's the same user who registered the email.
I'm curious who this complex service would be used by - I'm assuming crypto exchanges, etc, but then that doesn't do anything for someone just getting your password and not needing to reset it. I suppose when you set your password you can receive a list of OTPs to use on session timeout/new device.
