ID card, Xanthi Police Station/Deparment

Hiya,
First of all, "αστυνομική ταυτότητα" is ID card.
Secondly, how sure are you it's: "Τ.Α. Ξάνθης" and not: "A.T. Ξάνθης"? Because the latter makes more sense, as A.T. is an abbreviation for "Aστυνομικό Tμήμα" (which literally means Police Station - imagine something similar to the American "PD")
So, if T.A. is indeed a typo, then "A.T. Ξάνθης" refers to Xanthi (the city) Police Station - which makes perfect sense to me.
I reckon the 9 numbers in this context is just one's ID number - nothing to do with VAT or Tax, as far as I know.
Hope this helps

oops just re-read your question, so I'm taking back the last bit of my answer.
Yes, I think the ΑΦΜ 9 digits would be Vat Registration Number in this case.

Thanks. Actually, it may even be T.A. for "Τμήμα Ασφαλείας". I think I'd still translate it as Police Station, though.
agree d_vachliot (X) : Τμήμα Ασφαλείας είναι το Τ.Α. 100%

(holder of) the ID Card no...issued by the Police Station of Xanthi, and Tax Registration no ...

TA = Τμήμα Ασφαλείας. An ID may have been issued by an AT or TA or other type of Police Authority. All of them are Police Stations/Departments today and should be translated as such.
