If you would like to change you name to married name then you'll need to apply a new passport together with your Report of Marriage. Check PhilEMb for more information.

with ur first question, I am sure since Uve been married here in the UK( I presume u come here thru a Fiancee visa because u applied for FLR) it is already registered here, but if u want to registered it in te Philippines u can check this website..

http://www.philemb.org.uk/

with the National Insurance Number, Lady J have shared to u already links.

and with the last one, u can ammend ur passport to change it to ur husband name together when u report ur marriage at the Phil embassy..
Wisely, I didn't attempt to answer the questions you asked, as my wife came here via the 'Spousal' route ... which is a different "ball game" altogether ... and consequently, this is the only process with which I could claim familiarity.

Glad to note that my friends have so quickly shared the benefits of THEIR knowledge and experience with you, however.
