So i needed a drivers license for various reasons

I had a HELL of a time proving i was not homeless so that I could get a drivers license

I needed the drivers license in order to get car insurance and provincial healthcare

I was living with my husband, he bought the house before we got married

They wanted a lease or my name on a mortgage, i had neither

They wanted my name on a utility, we had added me as a second person to all utilities but they were not mailed to me i was just authorized

they wanted a MAILED bank statement - but all my bank statements were electronic.
I printed a statement with my address, it was not accepted.
I went to my branch they printed a statement and stamped it, it was not accepted because it was not mailed

They wanted a note from my employer, MAILED to me, confirming my address
My employer could do this by email, because we are ALL remote (100%) with no offices, but they wanted snail mail, even my pay stubs are electronic!

in the end, my husband removed himself from a utility, transfered it to me, we got a statement, and used that, and he's secondary.

it was INSANE
