They do indicate that if the Passport you have is in good order and you are ill and unable to travel and live a long distance away it may be possible to do it by mail. My guess is that they will be pretty restrictive about that and you will need a really good reason.

Do it in Laos, I did as it was closer to where I lived than Bangkok.

You don't leave the old passport behind remember
