Try registering at bitstamp. I quoted a post by someone who claimed they recently processed his KYC documents within a few days of submitting them. However another poster in the same thread said his bitstamp verification took 10 days.
https://www.bitstamp.net/I'm switching to trading on Bitstamp, where they did the same verification in just a few days.

Every exchange is struggling with the increased demand. I helped somone close to me to get himself verified at Bitstamp last month, and it took 10 working days to complete.
