Who this article is forAn enquiry from the applicant themselves about declaring, in a 帰化 application, siblings who are not on the home-country family list.
The discrepancy seems likely to arise in the family section of the questionnaire submitted when you changed to 日本人の配偶者等. We do not think your status of residence would be revoked immediately. In the strictest case a denial of the extension is conceivable, but we think it unlikely that such a decision would be made suddenly. On the other hand, a request for additional documents (a request for an explanation) at the time of renewal, a shorter period of stay, or a denial of other related applications is possible, so at renewal, we think it best to give your explanation on the assumption that the 法務局 has passed the information to the 出入国在留管理局.

We have not dealt with a case in which this information was shared in connection with a 帰化 application and the discrepancy came to light, so we cannot be definitive, but we think it would not be revoked immediately.

Because of this discrepancy, you might be asked at renewal for additional documents (a request for an explanation), or your period of stay might be shortened. It also seems possible that other related applications could be denied, such as your own 永住許可申請 (Application for Permanent Residence), an application to bring your child to Japan, or an 在留資格認定証明書交付申請 (Application for Certificate of Eligibility) if a sibling marries someone else.
In any case, at renewal we think it best to give your explanation on the assumption that the 法務局 has passed the information to the 出入国在留管理局.
