Proof of address for ID card

Apologies I wasn’t sure where to post on the forum but happy to move if someone thinks there is a better place.

I am trying to obtain a Portuguese ID card and have been told I need proof of address.

The problem is I have registered under my maiden name because my passport is still in my maiden name. To register a marriage is very complicated so I am trying with my own ID first.

Everything except my passport is in my married name meaning I have no utilities or any bills at my current address in my maiden name and I’m really not sure what to do.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

    Can you change your name on your utilities and bills?
    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.
