Emirates Name Correction Policy

Did you accidentally spell your name incorrectly when making a reservation with Emirates Airlines? You can still travel on your ticket if you go by Emirates name correction policy. You don’t have to change your flight name and cancel your current Emirates Airlines reservation to get a refund. Passengers can make an Emirates name adjustment request on the current flight booking and continue their trip without a problem.

Let’s examine all the difficulties associated with Emirates’ new passenger name policy;

• Passengers travelling on Emirates may change up to 4 characters in their first, middle, or last name. Please do not mistake the four characters for the first, middle, and last names.
• According to the Emirate’s name correction policy on name changes, changing the passengers listed on a ticket is not permitted. In other words, Emirates Airlines forbids the transfer of ticket ownership. In such cases, passengers must cancel their current flight reservation, process a refund for the cost of the reservation, and then book the same itinerary on an Emirates flight with the correct passengers.
• Under legal circumstances like marriage, a legal name change, or a divorce, travellers may switch their first or last name, according to Emirates Airlines’ policy on name changes.
• Name changes are not authorised under any circumstances if tickets are booked using the Skywards Frequent Flyer Reward account, according to Emirates’ policy on name changes. On the Skywards rewards flight booking, passengers can only seek an up to 4-character adjustment to their Emirates name.
• The updated name will be forwarded for issuance on the current PNR after the name change on an Emirates ticket has been processed. Each passenger would be charged an Emirates name change fee and applicable fare difference.
• Passengers must complete a new flight check-in and seat selection when the Emirates name adjustment request is completed. It is not possible to switch seats between the old and new PNR per Emirates name correction policy.
• To avoid a no-show and be eligible for a full refund on the unused portion of the ticket, all flight segments linked with the wrong name must be cancelled before the scheduled departure, following Emirates’ change passenger name policy.

Emirates Ticket Name Change Rules

Can the name on an Emirates flight ticket be changed? Undoubtedly, the answer is yes! However, it depends on the specific circumstances we cover in this piece. The following guidelines are applicable when requesting an Emirates name change on a ticket:

• Emirates name correction policy – Under Emirates policy on name changes, travelers may replace up to four characters in their first, middle, or last name, provided that Emirates operates the entire booked flight segment.
• Change to the middle name on Emirates tickets is permitted in accordance with the airline’s policy on name corrections. When this occurs, travellers are responsible for both the fare difference and the Emirates name change cost because their flight bookings would be changed to a higher or equivalent class of service, depending on availability.
• Changes to the traveler’s first name can only be made under certain legal circumstances, such as when the passenger has gone by a different name legally, and the corrected name matches that on a government-issued photo ID. A photo ID is required from passengers for verification. The Emirates change passenger name cost would be paid by the passengers. A ticket difference may be charged if flights are rebooked in a higher class of service, provided that space is still available in the original class.
• Passenger Name Prefix/Suffix/Title – Did you forget to add the title to your name? Not to worry! As long as the name matches the one on the official photo ID, travelers may add a title, suffix, or prefix under the Emirates’ name correction policy. Only the Emirates name correction policy cost would be charged for domestic flight bookings. Tickets would be reissued to a similar or better class of service when booking an overseas flight. In this situation, both the fare difference and the Emirates name change cost would be charged.
• Changing a name on an Emirates flight under legal obligation: Passengers can ask Emirates to modify their name on their ticket in case of a divorce, change of maiden name following marriage, or any other legal name change. Under the condition that the flight segment must only be operated by Emirates airlines, a name correction fee would be charged.
