In Japan there are many ways to write the name of our non-profit. 一般社団法人 OpSAFE International is what is on our official documents but... now on 5th try on a government form and they want us to write the whole thing in katakana?!! イッパンシャダンホウジン Who does this?
The kanji (Chinese characters) are for Japanese words. The katakana are for foreign loan words and onomatopoeia and in the case of names to let someone know how to pronounce the kanji.
The furigana are for the bits like particles, conjugations and such.

So putting OpSAFE International in katakana is perfectly normal (despite it being romaji on our official registration) but Ippan Shadan Houjin is just Japanese for a general association. It is a JAPANESE word!
Oh, and to add to the frustration there are no instructions. It just keeps coming back rejected. We had to call for clarification but still no success.
