My personal information in my home country is incorrect!

Hello everyone.

My name is Hayashi and I am in charge of naturalization at the Shinjuku office.

When applying for naturalization, in addition to the applicant, information on the spouse, parents, and siblings is also required.

As I gathered materials from my home country,

Occasionally, the following facts may be discovered:

・The name registered in your home country is different from the name in Japan (real name)!

・The date of birth on the certificate you took in your home country is different from the one in Japan!

The above situation is often faced by elderly special permanent residents,

This occurs frequently in countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines where certificates are created by hand.

How much impact do these discrepancies have on naturalization applications?

Also, how can you minimize the impact for naturalization application?

It varies depending on the case.

If there are any of you who are having these problems,

Please feel free to contact us by phone.
