I have a dim memory of taking my landlord big wads of cash in the early 90s. Most of the passport application/ renewal process is online, but for a child passport you just go to the post office and tap your card as if you were paying in the supermarket. I remember my dad's chequbook. It's kind of quaint to think they're still in use, like if you went into a shop and they still had that pneumatic tube system for sending messages.
