What can be done without leaving home
Before booking anything, check whether your document involves a consulate at all. Three of the most common ones do not:
The short version: PSA certificates are ordered online from Manila, apostilles on documents issued in Alaska come from the state's own competent authority, since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them, and the NBI clearance travels by mail; its fingerprints can be taken at a consulate or at a police station, according to the NBI.
What does require you in person is your biometrics for a passport and the oath of allegiance. A special power of attorney can be signed at the consulate or before a local notary and then apostilled, according to the notarial page of the Chicago consulate.
Juneau has no road connection to the rest of North America; you arrive by air or by ferry. From Anchorage the road to Seattle runs through Canada, 2,268 miles at posted speed limits, so anything that can be done on paper should be.
