Nah, I wouldn't touch it. Why do you have the urge to mess with it?

have your school write something that you attended and passed those 12 years of school

go to university ;-)

Wow, I didnt know that. thanks!! Gonna be easy if i win! ;-) hehe

I am neither of those things you said.. i just don't really have any contact or affiliation with Japan anymore, so I dont know how things work and I can imagine it being difficult since most Japanese dont speak English.

Ok i understand!!! may i carefully ask which documents would be required in case i win? because then i can decide if i should even enter the lottery or not.. (since some documents i can imagine would be difficult to get from japanese authorities..)

actually it would be good to know that now.. so that i can pick my country of eligibility.. because some documentation is easier to get from one country than from the other..

when i was born, my japanese birth certificate was transferred into a german one.. so i had german citizenship right away... my birth certificate is german, so i will select germany. what u think med?

ok got it, thanks. what documents would i need then from japan?

i may? what if i use germany?

germany?

interesting.. can you keep your previous citizenship too?

anyone can help? is it japan or germany for me?

those are exactly the two cases where it can be different.. but mine is not mentionend...
