My suggesting is in all situations other than when the form won't accept roman characters as a technically-enforced rule, put in roman characters for your name even if the instructions on the form don't account for this. Whomever is reading the information will figure out that you're a foreigner and don't have a Kanji representation of your name. And, if some subsequent system requires a foreign name in katakana, they'll probably transliterate it for you.
