You do what I did with a braindead video rental place in London
(blockbuster maybe?) I borrowed someone elses bill, scanned it and then
"edited" it to look like it was my bill (both the address and the person
it was sent to) and they let me have a rental card. This was after
refusing the drivers license for not having a london address on it, and
the mobile phone bill as they don't accept mobile bills and the council 
tax bill which was genuine as they wanted 2 forms of id, they also
refused the passport as it didn't have an address on it (iirc).
