It would be better to get your NI number registered to your married name too.

Civil servants and government computers like things to match up.

As much as I want to, I can't do anything as of this moment, as they want my NI name to be the same as what's on my passport (which is my single name). I still have 4 years with my PH passport and it's not perfect timing to get my passport sorted yet

Hmmm...when I got my NI, the lady who interviewed me asked which name I liked to use and I said my married name. My passport at that time was also in my maiden name. What she did was put my maiden name on the form but also put a note that I prefer to use my married name. When my NI letter arrived, it was in my married name.

That's also what the man I saw did. He wrote my maiden and married names and told me he'd put a note on the form - as that was the only thing he could do. But he couldn't really guarantee they would use my married name because it's the office who decide and I just had to wait and see if my NI is in my married name or not. But when I received it it's in my maiden name - so obviously they didn't approve it
