Hi.This is an attempt by the IRS to protect you from potential identity theft and is a part of their ongoing efforts to prevent fraud. Unfortunately, the only way to have your refund released is to verify your identity via the 2 methods they provide. See IR-2015-54 for more info here: https://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/Taxpayers-Receiving-Identity-Verification-Letter-Should-Use-IDVerif....
I don't want to get your hopes up too much, but some taxpayers are reporting that they received their refund in 7 days after verifying their ID. See https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3086964.
However, the IRS states that it will take 6 weeks to process your return: https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Employees/Understanding-Your-5071C-Letter
