Vodafone — Vodafone sim lost

I have recently lost my vodafone sim card
I have been using it for many years and it was in the name of my uncle who is in abroad.
But when I enquired about taking a duplicate sim, I got the information that the person should come from abroad for it.
When the same thing happened in other service provider, the method was to provide the identity proof for verification.
Now what is the way to get a duolicate sim since many of my bank accounts have this number since I have been using it for a long time.
