Update: OpenDocument format versions of naturalization forms
OpenDocument format versions of the naturalization forms we received and distributed in a previous post are now available. In addition to being accessible to people with newer versions of Microsoft Word , they are also accessible to people using alternative word processors and productivity suites. These will be indexed in the Docs and Forms page as well. This blog's Help page gives a little bit of advice regarding how to open these documents. For those that don't have confidence in their Japanese handwriting ability (like me), these forms should help make the completing the naturalization forms a little less painful.
