The Delta name change policy is designed to help passengers correct errors in their ticketed names while maintaining travel security and compliance. Delta allows minor corrections, such as fixing a misspelled first or last name or adding a middle name, especially if the changes are made within 24 hours of booking. For more significant updates—like changing a last name due to marriage or divorce—passengers may need to provide legal documentation and contact Delta's customer service directly. It's important to note that Delta does not allow ticket transfers to another individual, and the name on the ticket must exactly match the traveler’s government-issued ID.
