I come from a Hispanic family, unfortunately this means I have two last names, and double unfortunately my parents decided to name me after a great grandfather who had an extremely long name.
To put this to picture, my first name, my middle name and my two last names come to 34 characters total.
Just my first name and preferred last name come to 20 characters.
I have heard and seen stories of foreigners being unable to fill forms in Japanese due go their names etc.
My question is, how true and prevelant is this issue, and what I should I use to make it easier to fill forms, government documents etc when in Japan?
