Delta Airlines allows passengers to make corrections or changes to the name on their ticket under certain conditions. These policies ensure your ticket matches your government-issued ID, which is required for travel. Here's what you need to know about Delta Airlines name change and correction rules.

Name Correction Policy

Delta Airlines permits minor name corrections for spelling errors or typos on tickets. These changes ensure your name matches your identification documents but don’t allow for a complete name change to a different person.

Minor Name Corrections

• Corrections include fixing misspellings, adding/removing middle names, or correcting inverted first and last names.
• Changes are permitted only for tickets issued on Delta Airlines (006 ticket stock).
• The ticket must retain the same passenger for whom it was originally issued.

Process for Minor Name Corrections

• Contact Delta Reservations at 1-800-221-1212 or use the "My Trips" section on Delta's website.
• Provide the correct spelling of your name as per your ID.
• Fees may apply, depending on the type of ticket and correction required.

Major Name Changes

Delta Airlines does not allow transferring a ticket to another person. However, major changes (such as name updates due to marriage or legal changes) may be accommodated with proper documentation.

Process for Major Name Changes

• Submit supporting documents, such as a marriage certificate, court order, or other legal paperwork.
• Contact Delta's customer service or visit a Delta ticketing counter for assistance.

Fees for Name Changes or Corrections

The fees for name changes or corrections vary based on the following factors:

• Domestic vs. International Flights: Fees for international flights are generally higher.
• Fare Type: Basic Economy tickets may have more restrictions compared to Main Cabin or higher fares.
• Booking Source: Tickets booked through third-party agencies may require contacting the agency directly.

Fees typically range from $75 to $500, depending on the situation.

Name Change for SkyMiles Tickets

For tickets purchased with Delta SkyMiles, name corrections can be requested, but additional SkyMiles or fees may apply if there’s a fare difference or fee associated with the change.

Tips for Avoiding Name Change Issues

• Double-Check Before Booking: Ensure the name on your ticket matches your ID exactly.
• Review Before Finalizing: Take a moment to confirm all details before submitting your booking.
• Contact Delta Promptly: If you notice an error, reach out to Delta Airlines immediately to avoid higher fees as your departure date approaches.
