Why Name Accuracy Matters
Airlines are strict about ticket information matching a traveler’s ID. Even a small spelling error can create boarding issues or extra costs. The Emirates Airline Name Change Policy allows limited corrections, but understanding when and how to apply them can prevent unnecessary fees.
Emirates permits passengers to fix minor errors free of charge if reported promptly. Requests made after the initial 24-hour booking period may involve a name change fee depending on fare class and origin of travel.
What Type of Changes Are Allowed
Under current rules, Emirates accepts the following updates:
-
Typographical errors or small spelling mistakes (up to three characters)
-
Title or prefix adjustments (Mr., Mrs., Ms.)
-
Legal name updates due to marriage, divorce, or government documentation
Full ticket transfers are prohibited. A traveler cannot replace their name with another person’s name; such cases require cancellation and a new booking, possibly including an Emirates Airline Cancellation Fee.
Fee Structure and Processing Time
-
Within 24 hours of booking: usually free if the flight departs seven or more days later
-
After 24 hours: USD 50–200 per ticket depending on fare and route
-
Through agents: possible additional service fee
Refunds or reissues normally take seven to ten business days once approved. Always verify fare conditions in the “Manage Booking” section before submitting a request.
