On the application that I am filling out, they have split up the name section into three parts much like any English application, but instead of 'Last name' it says 'Family name'. I usually put my last name and add a 'jr.' at the end, but my last name is my family name, not 'jr.' So is it ok for me to put my last name and add a 'jr.' for the family name field, or would I put the 'jr.' elsewhere.

    If Jr. is part of your legal name you jould inculde it in the family name cell other wise just drop it. In any case, if you can drop it I strongly advice to drop it. Because unless you're father is also there there can't be confusion anyway. Commented Jun 17, 2016 at 2:21
  • Jr. is a part of my legal name and as an emergency contact I have listed my father, so in that case I guess I would put 'Jr.' with my family name. Thanks for the help! Commented Jun 17, 2016 at 2:25

    Authorities could be perplexed jr. who? I think you'd better go to and ask the certain municipal or you can namewhere you had gone to which had given the sheet.

Your mother (and a possible sibling) is a Watson, and your last name is the same as hers. I doubt she is a "junior" so I would not put it as last name.

You and your father are both Richard, but you are "Richard Jr." so I would add it to your first name.

Most people in the USA know a lot of "Richard Jr"s or some people who just use "Junior" as their first name by default.
