The USPS would be a great fit for this. Thru have delivery and address / identity verification infrastructure and lots of local physical presence. They could issue tokens and act as the root CA for the PKI.

The USPS would be horrible for this. Small town post offices are too vindictive and not professional enough to be given this level of authority/power.
