You have evidence of your birth name, your marriage and divorce.
Just revert to your birth name and get a new driving licence, which deals the need for photo ID.
Make sure that you change the name on the electoral roll immediately you move, as many organisations use that as a basic match. And share your previous name if they want previous addresses, otherwise a mismatch could result in a computer rejection.
I also used to do detailed ID checks which required a full history of names used since aged 16 years. That sometimes involved women, mainly, supplying plural marriage and divorce certificates and I did not care a jot. What I needed was a full consistent history.
If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing1
