If your friend gave her name in Roman Character to nursing board or NCLEX test center, then she need to show a valid ID in the same character to test center. That is the way they prevent cheating. Not only that, when ever you are away from you desk, you will be asked to scan you index finger print. NCLEX is a the most security test I ever have. How about you friend apply a new passport with her name in bothe Roman character and Japenese? In the way she need to carry new and old passports all the time.
