Sentence correction
Hi beloved teachers,
Could you please check if the following sentences are correct?
Context: I was riding on my bike (or should I say "driving my bike" ?) and a cop stopped me. He asked me to show my driving licence and other papers as well, and I said...
"Sir, I have everything that is required to be permitted to drive a vehicle, but not with me right now. I could call my dad and ask him to bring the papers/documents if you really wished to see."
[Is what have been said above correct, teachers ? Please correct if there is any mistake in the above sentences.]
Thank you, teachers.

Thank you very much, dear Alpheccha Stars, for your reply.
Isn't the sentence 'I could call....If you really wished to.. " in S
AlpheccaStars I could call my dad and ask him to bring the papers/documents if you really wish to see them."Here, you changed 'wished ' into 'wish'. Could you please explain a little why 'wish', and not 'wished' is correct here?

Policemen don't usually make hypothetical requests; they make real ones!
If a policeman wishes to see my documents, I just pull them out and show them to him.
