Original 

Earlier today, I called to my hometown’s police station to check what ‘s wrong with my ID card. A woman answered my call, I told her that I couldn’t continue my personal insurance due to the fact that my first id card number is different from the second one. The woman found where the problem was and told me they were happy to help me solve this problem, because when I changed my id card, they made a mistake in the police system. However they need to see me in person. I explained to her that I am not in the city where I was born, and asked her if there has some other solutions can settle this problem. she said nope.
