Here in the US, Passport services are more often handled by Post Offices. Some Libraries and other government offices handle it as well, but that's mostly in metropolitan areas. So if you wanna leave this shithole you'll likely find yourself having to visit one at some point. Doubly true if you're unfortunate enough to be in a rural part of the US
As someone who's been in immigration offices in other countries, it can indeed get considerably worse. I think it's the first mandate of government offices worldwide: suck as much as possible
Here’s it’s handled by the municipality, so you basically have to go to city hall to request and pick up a passport.
