Overview

United Airlines allows passengers to make changes to their name on a booking under specific conditions. Below is a summary of the policy and the steps to request a name change or correction.

Policy Details

• Minor Corrections: United Airlines allows minor corrections to spelling errors in a passenger's name. These changes can typically be made for free or for a nominal fee if requested shortly after booking.
• Major Changes: For significant changes, such as a complete name change, United Airlines may require legal documentation (e.g., marriage certificate, court order). Fees may apply, and in some cases, a new ticket may need to be issued.
• Documentation: Passengers may need to provide supporting documents to confirm the name change, such as legal documents or government-issued identification.
• Booking Status: Name changes or corrections should be requested while the booking is still active. Some restrictions may apply as the departure date approaches.
• Fees: Fees for name changes or corrections depend on the fare type and the timing of the request. It’s recommended to check with United Airlines directly for exact fee details.
