It was great. Quick, fast and easy. Application was easy to complete and follow.
The staff, Anthony and John were very helpful in navigating me through the form process when I was having problems with some of the fields. Both very courteous and professional. I received the EIN# as promise. Thanks to both
I like it I was easy to complete and very quick I didn't it would work out so fast
When my wallet was stolen, I was told by the DMV that I needed a social security card. Could not locate their office, even with a map, so I tried online.
Govsimplified is a fraud. Thought my online application would result in a social security card sent to me via internet. They FEDEXed me an application from Miami, Florida all the way to Santa Fe, NM. I thought I would be charged $37. And they charged $97. When I asked for a refund, they said they would not give me a full refund. This can't be legal.
This site is very deceptive. It looks like it is affiliated with the government, but IT IS NOT! I was charged $37 for postage, but when they wanted original documents, red flags went up, and I decided to go to my local social security office instead. (I had to take time off of work, which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place.) When I called for a refund, I was told that it wasn't possible.
I; m scared. I sent in my drivers license, much to my dismay to get a copy of my sons social security card. He is incarcerated and needs his copy right away. I could not find it in his wallet that he gave me when he went away. Please tell me you are a legit site?
Debbie V.,
Yes, we are a legitimate private entity that offers our services to clients who want or need assistance with preparing an accurate and complete application for a new or replacement card from the Social Security Administration. We have helped over 200,000+ customers just like you and we would love the opportunity to assist you but are unfortunately unable to locate your order solely using the screen name you have provided along with this review. The SSA states that they accept applications for social security cards either in person or by mail provided the applicant qualifies for the mail in option. We offer a preparation package in order to assist customers who would like to apply for a card from the SSA by mail. The SSA requires proof of identity as well as several other things along with the SS5 form -- which they readily accept by mail -- in order to process an application, offering qualifying individuals an opportunity to complete this process without having to appear in person. We prepare and supply customized instructions to each client as to the list of required original documents (or copies certified by the agency that issued them) the SSA asks be sent directly to them for such processing. We offer as part of our preparation package, a prepaid label -- addressed to your nearest social security office -- to facilitate mailing your documents to them. We do not instruct our clients to send their documents to our company as we do not process applications, generate or issue social security cards. If you have utilized the prepaid label you received as part of your preparation package to mail your supporting documents, then your shipment has been addressed to the nearest social security office to you.
If you have any additional questions regarding this process or our company, we invite you to visit our Privacy Policy, FAQ section or contact us directly at 888-629-8008 or at support@govsimplified.com. An agent is available to assist you over the phone, M-F 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM EST.
They will charge your account even if you don't use the service. Use Fedex or USPS direcly to avoid any SCAM. Stay away

I receive great service with getting the corrections to my Company name.
I've experienced great service today from Anthony. He answered each question and represented his company, so that a new business owner like myself, was comfortable enough to give out sensitive information. I received my request faster than expected. THANK YOU, you stand behind your word!
I needed the tax id number for my church asap. When I called the number to make sure I was on the right track, I got Anthony and he was very helpful. I took down the information and everything that was needed and explained to me step by step. He stayed on the phone until the process was complete. I got it all taken care of in a matter of minutes. Hat off to Anthony! I also referred him to another customer and the response was the same.
I received outstanding service from Jordan. He was very patient with me as I didn't understand some of the terms and willing to explain to me. Overall I give 100% on the service I received
Getting tax ID process is easy, but there was no mention of Dee before starting application. That should be mention up front.

We supply on our landing page that we are a private company not affiliated with IRS or Department of Revenue and our dedicated support agents also supply that we are a private company when services requests over processed over the phone. The fee of $197 was for our expedited third party designee, document prep, filing and delivery services. The fee was not assessed for the number which is generated and assigned by the IRS. We thank you for allowing us to assist you and if you should have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us at 888-629-9001, M-F 9:00AM - 7:00PM EST. A dedicated support agent will be happy to assist you.
The information was quick and accurate.
I had my TAX ID number within 10 minutes after the call was completed.
The person was knowledgable and polite.
It was a good experience and worth the cost
I called to get an EIN number and I did. The representative was informative of what advantages the EIN will provide. Furthermore, he offered me a great deal to receive my EIN right away without hassle. I took the low price deal and received my EIN as promised. Now I am able to proceed with my business.
