Fix the Name on Your
Flight Ticket Fast

🪪 Why Name Accuracy Is Critical

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enforces the Secure Flight Program, which requires that the name on your boarding pass match your government-issued photo ID character-for-character. A misspelling, a swapped first/last name, or a missing middle name can trigger secondary screening or, in rare cases, boarding denial.

If you notice an error in your passenger name, act immediately. The longer you wait, the more airlines may charge to fix it — and some airlines will not process corrections within 24 hours of departure.

📝 Types of Name Corrections We Handle

• ✏️
  Typo / misspelling: "JOHM" instead of "JOHN", "SMTIH" instead of "SMITH" — the most common correction type
• 🔄
  Swapped first/last name: Ticket shows "SMITH JOHN" when it should be "JOHN SMITH"
• ➕
  Missing middle name: Adding a middle name or initial to match your passport or license
• ✂️
  Extra/wrong middle name: Removing or correcting an incorrect middle name
• 📜
  Legal name change: Marriage, court-ordered name change, or other legal reason — documentation required
• 🔢
  Suffix corrections: Adding or fixing Jr., Sr., III, etc.

💰 Name Correction Fees by Airline

📄 Documents You May Need

For most minor corrections (1–3 character changes), no documentation is needed beyond your booking reference. For larger corrections or legal name changes, airlines may require:

• A copy of your government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport)
• For legal name changes: marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order
• For military name changes: DD-214 or official military orders
