Delta Airlines Name Change Policy

Delta Airlines recognizes the significance of name correction and offers many options. They ease and accelerate the name change process to protect the customer’s interest. Therefore, a passenger will not distress before requesting a change. 

Here are the following conditions that you must satisfy to be allowed to do name correction on tickets:

• Delta Airlines authorizes the change of the last name ensuing from marriage.
• One can rectify the middle name on the ticket without modifying the surname.
• Passenger can alter their nicknames to legal names on the Delta Airline ticket or boarding pass.
• A traveler can carry out simple additions to a name without altering the whole name. 

Name Change Correction Situations

Unfortunately, there cannot be any one situation based on which a passenger applies for a change of name on the ticket. For example, some want to alter their last name, while some may like to change their middle name. Hence, you must know all these situations to proceed appropriately according to your purpose. 

1. Delta Airlines - Name Change After Marriage

The name inconsistency arises due to marriage. It is a common problem among all women. After marriage, a woman’s last name gets changed, which causes an issue during the flight boarding process. It is because their last name doesn’t match their individual I’d cards. However, they can produce some legal documents pertaining to their marriage. Further, a woman may apply for a change of surname on the ticket in the case of divorce. 

2. Delta Airlines - Middle Name Corrections

Middle name is not a mandatory field to fill. But if you fill it, make sure you mention it correctly. It means your middle name should match the name written on your government identification card. On the initiation of the change procedure, the agent will perform the following steps to ensure the correction of the name:

• Look into the PNR to correct the name.
• Incorporate an OSI message to advise that the name correction on the ticket is completed.
• Lastly, the airline will issue a ticket in exchange. Further, you will not be able to make any more changes to flights and dates. 

3. Delta Airlines - Last Name Additions and Corrections

Before falling under any kind of complexion with the wrong name, make sure to avoid the differences in your name while comparing it with the name in the government ID. In case of modifying the surname, you should know the following few things:

• Delta Airlines allows customers to add only three characters to their last names. 
• The name correction process will be the same as the middle name. However, the only change will be in the OSI notification. 

Delta Airlines guests can add something to their last names without modifying the first name. For this, below are the essential guidelines:

• If you want to add a name to your surname, then the procedure will be similar to that of a middle name. After the correction, the traveler can check out the name in the PNR. 
• The guest will get a reissued ticket, and after its receipt, the guest cannot make any further rectifications. 

4. Delta Airlines - Last & First Name Reversed

It sometimes happens that a passenger mistakenly writes the last name in place of the first name on the flight ticket and vice versa. If you want to amend this mistake, it is essential to follow the Delta Airlines Name Change or Correction Policy. The reversed name change process is akin to the above correction procedures. Only the OSI message will be different. 

Note: If there are other reasons besides those mentioned above, a passenger can contact Delta Airlines directly.
