I have lately been assailed by people concerned because they could not get a passport, were issued an incorrect passport, or were being penalized for things like child support debts or IRS liens with not being able to use a passport issued by "the US".
Passports are issued by the Post Office, not the "government".
You, as a Post Master (Think about it, you handle the mail --- buy, sell, trade, carry, and deliver mail all the time) have the right and ability to send "yourself" anywhere the mail goes.
Technically, your Birth Certificate is sufficient to cross most international borders, so long as you provide reasonable proof of the other elements of a Passport --- current picture, nationality (Ohioan, Californian, Wisconsinite, etc.), a current postal address, two Witnesses (or their signed and notarized testimony identifying a photo of you as "the" man or woman whose birth event was registered on the BC and certifying your good character.
There you go. Make your own. The "authorities" will scream, but it is their own darn fault for messing around and not doing their job---and they really have no authority to restrict your travel.
You put all this information on a 5" X 8.5" postcard and send it to yourself at your normal address with your normal postal address as the Return Address, too, using a $1.00 "Global" Stamp, which will of course be cancelled to pay the postage.
When this document returns to you, it has been stamped and sealed and is in fact a "Passport" proving your current address and presenting your identity.
