Your only option is to contact Apple or visit Apple Store. You will somehow have to prove you are the actual owner of the device and they will give you options to do that.


Here is another link provided by Apple to remove an Activation Lock. You will still need to be able to provide proof of ownership.

Have you tried either of the 2 links I have already provided? Showing us your phone documents will not help, but documentation will be required after using either link and specifically the link to remove Activation Lock. That is the problem you are facing now and you will have to prove you are the owner of the device. This is most easily done by providing receipt showing serial number from Apple or Authorized Apple Seller. Other options may be available to you, but you will need to follow either link already provided to get a resolution.
