Emirates Name Change Policy

In general, due to Emirates name change policy, passengers are not allowed to change their name on an existing PNR. In this case, the PNR, if already issued, must be canceled  and a new reservation  made using  current availability. Here are the key issues arising from Emirates' name change policy:

Emirates Change of Name Before a Ticket is Issued – 

  • Emirates Airlines may change a passenger's first, middle  and last name  up to a maximum of four characters. Please note that the 4-digit number should not be interpreted as 4 characters for the first name, another 4 characters for the middle name and the surname. 
  • The passenger title  and  space  in the Emirates name correction request is a total  of 4 characters. 
  • Adding, deleting or changing date of birth, passenger type  or infant type codes can be done by the booking creator and is not  included in the 4-digit number.
  • Passengers who exceed the  4 character limit or wish to change their name or maiden name on their Emirates ticket should contact Emirates Airlines Customer Service.
  • Emirates name change requests on tickets where passengers have lawfully changed their full name, middle name,  title, suffix, prefix or a combination thereof must be supported by an official legal document.

 

Emirates Change of Name After the Ticket is Issued –

  • For requests to Emirates change name on ticket or to add, remove or change an infant's name after ticketing.
  • Emirates name change requests on tickets where passengers have lawfully changed their full name, middle name,  title, suffix, prefix or a combination thereof must be supported by an official legal document. 
  • Emirates name changes or name corrections for PNRs created from Skywards Rewards bookings are still limited. 
  • The Emirates name change fee plus the applicable fare difference remains capped. 
  • Emirates bookings on codeshare and interline routes are not  subject to  Emirates name correction policy. 
  • It is not possible to set the same room preferences in the original PNR and the new PNR. Emirates 
  • flight segments associated with spelled/wrong names must be canceled prior to  scheduled departure  to avoid no-shows and an Emirates Airlines booking with a wrong name will require a refund. 
  • For  further interactions, passengers should contact  Emirates name correction phone number.
