Personally, I hate giving information like that to anyone, and I don't recommend doing it. But a KYC service is (usually) reliable and you'll get what you pay for faster and smoother. The downside obviously is that you leave a papertrail behind that makes it a little easier to connect your real ID to your online activity.
There are options for non-KYC, depending on what you want to buy, "KYCNotMe" has a good list of them: https://kycnot.me/?t=exchange&q=&fiat=on
Non-KYC options usually carry more risk, and you have to be careful and keep your eyes open for scammers. They're also usually more technically difficult to do. Haveno or Bisq, for example, can be intimidating for an absolute beginner, and also require you already have Bitcoin / Monero for a security deposit.
A third option is to do an informal trade with somebody you know. I've bought Steam credit (for example) from people in exchange for Monero in the past. That does require trust on both sides to work out, since there's no safety net.
