Housing costs proof for UC

Posts: 30 Forumite
My wife has a standard identity appointment for UC. She's been gathering the documents she needs but I'm not sure if she has proof of housing costs that they need.
Looking at the list she doesn't have most documents as bills are in my name.
I have a car insurance certificate which she is named on, but I'm the policyholder. Will that be ok? Or is there anything else that will do that's not on the list?
The tenancy agreement is in joint names but that's proof for another section on the list.
There must be other options, for people who rent a room for example, who don't have any of these items.
