> There is no way that my Norwegian bank would accept a utility bill as any kind of support of ID.

It's not ID, it's proof of address, separate from proving identity afaik. Mtgox wanted to see ID, but because my ID doesn't say my address they also needed some somewhat official letter addressed to me on this address.



Well, it's not really proof of address either because it's so easy to forge, which was OP's main point.
