How can I get a passport if I don't know any professionals?

This isn't for me, but my mum. She's almost 60 & had a passport as a teenager, but this hasn't been seen in about four decades. I've recently started travelling semi-often, and I really want to take her away somewhere. However.. She left work at 22 to raise us kids. My dad's been medically retired for decades. They don't have any friends really. They're friendly with our neighbours, but I don't know their jobs. The only professionals they know are my siblings, which obviously aren't able to do it. GPs and dentists, neither of which she's seen in years anyway, can't do it anymore. I'm the youngest at 21, so no teachers either. Ideas?
