Do I have to learn Arabic?
The original is The Word of Allah
It is not mandatory to know Arabic to become a Muslim. As the Qur'an is recited during prayers, one has to memorize a few chapter. The shortest chapter has only three verses.
Learning Arabic will be an advantage as there is a big difference between reading the translations of The Qur'an and the original text in Arabic.

Do I have to perform the daily prayers and other obligatory duties in Islam immediately after becoming a Muslim?
Allah knows what is in your heart
Obligatory duties in Islam are not "chores" that are performed reluctantly but a part of the joy of submission to Allah The Merciful.
They must be performed without delay in the spirit of gratitude to Allah The Merciful for the blessings that each of ud has been given.
Remember that you perform these duties not to please others but to submit to Allah The Merciful Who knows what is in your heart.

Do I Have To Change My Name
Change Of Name
There is no requirement in Islam to change your name when you embrace Islam. However it is better for you to have a Muslim name as well as it will be easier for others to identify you as a Muslim.
Choose a name that reflects your desire to lead a life in the way of Allah.
According to a tradition of the Prophet (pbuh), the best names in the sight of Allah are Abdullah (Slave of Allah) and Abdur Rahman (Slave of The merciful).

Do I Have To Register
Proof of Testimony

You may do this in a mosque or with the appropriate organization in your country.
A certificate from the appropriate authority is the formal proof of your Muslim identity.

How Do I Become A Muslim
Testimony Of Faith
Becoming a Muslim is a lot easier compared to getting a VISA or a passport. You become a Muslim when you accept that there is no god to be worshipped except ALLAH and Muhammad is His final Messenger.
The Noble Qur'an and the traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) will be the basis of a Muslim's efforts to achieve the good life here and salvation in the Hereafter
