Question: Is E-filing difficult to do?
Answer: E-Filing is quick, easy and convenient because it allows you to complete and submit applications at any time, from any computer with Internet access.
After filing online, you will receive instant electronic confirmation that your applications were received.
You can then schedule an appointment, if necessary,
to visit an Application Support Center at a convenient time – by calling the National Customer Service Center.
You can schedule the appointment for the collection of a digital photograph, signature, and fingerprints.
You would pay fees online with a credit or debit card
or through the electronic transfer of U.S. funds from your checking or savings account. You do not need to obtain a money order or a cashier’s check.
