I forgot to bring my ID card at Surabaya Railway Station. Can I buy a ticket? Can I apply for a temporary one?

After applying for a temporary ID card, go to the window to buy tickets

The process of applying for a temporary ID card at the train station:

1. Find the railway police certificate issuing window. Generally, train stations will have a separate ticket-issuing window in the ticket hall, and some stations will also set it up outside the ticket hall. If you can't find it, ask the station staff.

2. State your name, ID number, and place of origin at the window. After confirmation, the staff will print a temporary ID card for you and stamp it with the official seal. Some train stations may ask for one-inch photos (this is in compliance with regulations), so it is best to bring two one-inch photos with you before going out. It doesn’t matter if you don’t bring it with you. Stations that require photos usually have self-service photo-taking systems so you can take photos on the spot. The cost of photography is about 20 yuan.

3. How long does it take to apply for a temporary ID card at the train station? If there is no queue or there are few people in the queue, and you can report your identity information smoothly, it usually takes a few minutes.

The validity period of the temporary identity certificate at the railway station: it is only valid for the trains on which the ticket is purchased on the day the certificate is purchased (valid for 1 day), and can only be used for ticket purchase, verification, ticket inspection, and refund on the train.
