Yes, Turkish Airlines allows name corrections under specific conditions. Call ☎+1-866-418-2099 for assistance, fees, and policy details.<br><br&a mp;amp;gt;When you can update the name on a Turkish Airlines ticket<br><br& ;amp;gt;Turkish Airlines does allow minor name corrections when there’s a small mistake — for example a typographical error, misspelling, or small typo. <br>Flyofinder<br >+2<br>EVINTRA&am p;amp;lt;br>+2<br&gt ;<br>If your name changed legally (for instance because of marriage, divorce, or other official change), you may request a legal name update — provided you submit valid documentation such as a marriage certificate, court order, or updated ID/passport. <br>Flyofinder<br >+2<br>Intercom&a mp;amp;lt;br>+2<br&g t;<br>Turkish Airlines typically permits changing up to a few characters in the first name, middle name or surname — but major changes (completely different name or different person) are not accepted. <br>EVINTRA<br&am p;amp;gt;+2<br>Wanderlog& ;amp;lt;br>+2<br> <br>🚫 What Turkish does not allow — and the limits<br><br& ;amp;gt;A full name change that effectively replaces the original passenger with another person — i.e. “transferring” the ticket — is not allowed. Tickets are non‑transferable under Turkish Airlines’ policy. <br>Wanderlog<br& amp;amp;gt;+2<br>Intercom&am p;amp;lt;br>+2<br&gt ;<br>If the error or change request is big enough that it alters the passenger identity (not just spelling/typo), airlines generally treat that as a separate booking — meaning you’d likely have to cancel and rebook under the correct name. <br>Wanderlog<br& amp;amp;gt;+2<br>Intercom&am p;amp;lt;br>+2<br&gt ;<br>Last‑minute requests — especially close to departure or after ticket issuance / check-in start — may be harder to get approved, or may require additional fees / ticket re‑issuance. <br>Wanderlog<br& amp;amp;gt;+2<br>Invastor&am p;amp;lt;br>+2<br&gt ;<br>📄 What you need to do if you want a name correction or update<br><br& ;amp;gt;Contact Turkish Airlines’ customer service (or the booking channel you used) as soon as you spot a name error. The earlier you request the correction, the smoother the process. <br>Intercom<br&a mp;amp;gt;+1<br>< br>For simple spelling mistakes: provide your booking details (PNR) and government‑issued ID/passport showing the correct name. <br>Flyofinder<br >+1<br>&l t;br>For legal name changes: be ready to upload or present official documents proving the name change (marriage certificate, court order, updated passport/ID). <br>Intercom<br&a mp;amp;gt;+1<br>< br>Ensure the corrected name exactly matches your passport/ID — airlines are strict about identity matching at check-in/immigration. <br>Flyofinder<br >+1<br>&l t;br>💡 What to expect — Fees & limitations<br><b r>For minor name corrections (typos, small spelling errors), Turkish Airlines often does not charge a fee, especially if corrected in time. <br>Flyofinder<br >+2<br>Invastor&a mp;amp;lt;br>+2<br&g t;<br>For more significant corrections (like legal name change), there may be processing requirements — and in some situations, possible re‑issuance fees depending on fare type, route, or how the booking was made. <br>Intercom<br&a mp;amp;gt;+2<br>Invastor& ;amp;lt;br>+2<br> <br>Substantial changes or attempts to transfer the ticket to another person will be denied; you would need to cancel the booking and rebook anew. <br>Wanderlog<br& amp;amp;gt;+2<br>Intercom&am p;amp;lt;br>+2<br&gt ;<br>✅ Bottom line<br><br&a mp;gt;Yes — you can change the name on your Turkish Airlines ticket under specific circumstances: namely to fix minor spelling errors or to reflect a legitimate, documented legal name change. However, full name swaps (transferring a ticket to someone else) are not permitted. If you spot a mistake or need an update, reach out to Turkish Airlines as early as possible, provide the required documents, and ensure the final ticket name matches your passport/ID exactly.<br><br&a mp;amp;gt;If you like — I can check 2025‑era examples of passengers who successfully changed names on Turkish Airlines bookings, and note how often and under what conditions airlines granted corrections.
