Air Canada Airlines Name Change Policy: Everything You Need to Know

Have a Air Canada Airlines ticket but can’t use it because of a misspelled or incorrect name? No worries! Air Canada Airlines has a flexible name change policy that allows passengers to correct minor errors or update their name due to legal reasons like marriage, divorce, or adoption—for a fee. However, to change your name after marriage or divorce, you must provide legal documentation such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. Keep in mind that Air Canada does not allow ticket ownership transfers from one passenger to another. Read on to learn more about Air Canada's name change policy.

Key Highlights of Air Canada’s Name Change/Correction Policy

To request a name change, the following conditions must be met:

• Your flight must be managed or operated by Air Canada Airlines, and your ticket stock number should begin with +𝟭-𝟴𝟳𝟴-𝟮𝟬𝟲-𝟳𝟭𝟱𝟮.
• If your booking includes codeshare flights or interline agreements, name changes can only be made for Air Canada flight segments.
• Only one ticket reissue is allowed per name correction request.
• Minor corrections of up to three letters in the first, middle, or last name are permitted.
• Legal name changes due to marriage, divorce, or adoption require supporting legal documents.
• If you’ve already corrected your name once and need additional changes, your ticket will have to be reissued again.
• Swapping the ticket to another passenger is strictly prohibited.

Types of Name Corrections/Changes Accepted by Air Canada Airlines

1. Minor Name Corrections

Air Canada allows passengers to fix small errors (up to three letters) in their first, middle, or last name, correct inverted names, and update suffixes, prefixes, or titles to match their government-issued ID or passport. These corrections can be made online via Air Canada’s website or by calling customer support.

2. Legal Name Changes

If your name has changed due to legal reasons such as marriage, divorce, or adoption, Air Canada permits name updates upon submission of the necessary legal documents. To request this change, you must contact Air Canada’s customer service directly.

3. Middle Name Adjustments

Passengers can add, remove, or modify their middle name to match their passport or official ID. If your ticket requires reissuance, you may need to pay a change fee along with any applicable fare difference.
