Turkish Airlines Name Change Policy

Turkish Airlines has a name change policy that requires the name on your passport, photo ID, and a ticket to match. This is the same for all airlines. If your name on your flight ticket is misspelled or has changed due to marriage, divorce, or adoption, you need to contact Turkish Airlines right away.

You’ll need to provide legal documents like a marriage or divorce certificate or court decree before you travel. This will ensure that your ticket has the correct name. If you don’t do it, you may not be able to get on your flight. If your ticket needs to be reissued, you may be charged for the name change/correction.

Option 1: You can ask Turkish Airlines if you can travel with legal documents that prove you are the same person to who the ticket was issued to. If Turkish Airlines agrees, they may allow you to travel on the same ticket if they add an appropriate remark to it.

If you need to cancel your booking and rebook, you will be charged a cancellation fee, fare difference, and service/admin charges. The amount of these charges will depend on how you rebook.
