I always thought the simplified rental contract is not worth the paper it’s on according to government workers, they want you to go to court and do it “proper”.

Has that changed, or does it vary by office?

This page says that, at least for Kaohsiung, if proper documents to prove the residence address cannot be provided, then the HHR office can perform some kind of manual “verification” by police or HHR personnel that you live there – most likely, a visit to your address and asking around your neighbors – and that is then sufficient.
