Change in Residence form in english?

Hey all

does a change in Residence application have to be in japanese? i know they want your name in one area to be in chinese characters, but what about the rest of the application?

thank you

Change in "Status" of Residence, you mean?

I believe not. Chinese characters are to be used only if applicable.

so i cant fill out the form in English?

You can fill out the form in either English or Japanese.

You do not need to fill out the Chinese Character portion of your name.

You only use Kanji (Chinese characters) whenever applicable. If it is not applicable to you, then don't use it.

English on those forms are fine. For your address Romaji translation is generally acceptable.

thanks, that makes things a lot easier the trying to hire someone to translate everything on the form for me, thank you all

When I wrote "I believe not," I meant to say "I believe that the application does not need to be in Japanese" :)
