Delta Airlines requires its passengers to have the correct and exact name on the ticket as on their passport or government-approved ID. However, sometimes passengers make mistakes while booking their tickets in a rush. There is nothing to worry about as the airline has designed a comprehensive passenger-friendly name change policy to help its travelers. The policy lets you correct the name spelled wrong on Delta ticket or make a legitimate name change. The airline does not permit a complete name change on the ticket but only allows small modifications. Keep reading to understand the name change policy, types, and more.
Delta Airlines Name Change Policy: An Overview
Here is the complete overview of the name change policy, which you must understand before making a name change/correction request.
- The flight should be managed or operated by Delta, and your ticket stock should begin with 006.
- In the case of interline or codeshare agreement flights, you can make a name change request only on the flight segments.
- The airline permits only one ticket to reissue each ticket for name correction.
- Only minor name modifications of up to three letters are allowed.
- In case of a name correction more than once, the ticket has to be reissued a second time.
- Passengers are allowed to change a name due to legal obligations like marriage, divorce, adoption, etc. Also, such changes need to be backed by proper documentation such as a divorce license, marriage certificate, or new and old government-issued ID.
Delta Airlines Name Change/Correction Types
Following are the certain scenarios where name corrections or changes are permitted:
- Minor Spelling Modification: Travelers are permitted to correct up to three letters in the first/middle/surname and inverted name, as well as change the nickname to full name to match the name with your travel document or government-issued ID.
- Add/Remove Middle Name: According to the name change policy, remove or add middle name to Delta ticket. In such a situation, a new PNR will be issued, defragmenting the respected passenger if the reservation involves over one traveler, and issuing a different ticket number in his name.
- Legal Name Change: The airline enables passengers to change their name due to legal obligations like divorce, marriage, or adoption. Also, such changes have to be backed by proper documentation, including a marriage certificate, divorce license, or government-issued ID.
