Asking out of curiosity.
I have lived here for 10+ years, work in Japanese, live with my family in Japanese and have never had an issue. However, I have never done JLPT (personally just hate exams/ exam environment) nor have I been asked for my credentials by a company.
Often recruiters ask about JLPT but never has any company so I wonder if this is more of a thing to help recruiters screen more than anything/ for self assessment. I think it came up in work once and someone asked if I had taken a JLPT and I said I hadn't and that was the end of it.
So apart from obvious skill level/ getting caught is there anything stopping people from lying about having a certain jlpt level? Has anyone at an interview or job been asked to hand over their jlpt certi or info?
