In the country I come from, when people introduce themselves, they usually put their surname at the end. However, I’ve noticed that when I go to the city hall or another government office and need to fill out documents or applications, I have to write my last name first.

I'm from Pakistan and in our country, people use surname at the end. And mostly, we call people with their first name.  For example if a girl's name is Maria Shamon. We'll call her with her first name that is Maria. Normally, here in our country, people don't remember surname.
