Qatar Airways provides its passengers with an opportunity to make corrections or modify the name on a flight ticket on the condition of certain rules, procedures, and charges. These requirements can help to save time and avoid difficulties in the course of traveling.

Key Requirements for Name Change

Qatar Airways allows correction of names of the ticketed passengers but only under specific circumstances. The airline offers minor corrections of up to three characters in total, including the name of the passenger (first, middle or last name). Such corrections are usually allowed to correct the spelling errors, letters omitted or even the insertion of a middle name. Nevertheless, it is not possible to change the full name; the original reservation should be canceled and a new ticket is required in situations when there was a necessity to use an absolutely new name (except in legal situations like marriage, divorce, or adoption).

Among the major aspects of the name change policy of Qatar Airways are:

1. As per the Qatar Name Change Policy, the corrections of the name are only allowed once.

2. The number of characters that may be changed is limited to three characters including spaces and titles as characters.

3. Any change cannot be authorized without legal documents (e.g. a passport or government-issued ID) with the correct name.

4. Any alterations to passenger type code, date of birth, or addition or removal of an infant are not factored in the three character limit.

5. Legally based change of name should be officially documented and must be proved by corresponding information (e.g., date of birth) in both the former and the new one.

Process for Making a Name Change

The name in the Qatar Airways ticket can be corrected in several ways, and the travelers can choose the most convenient method to do it. The various avenues that one can employ to initiate the name change process include:

Via the Website

The passengers can fix minor mistakes such as missing a letter or word and typing errors using the official portal of Qatar Airways.

1. After logging in to their accounts, they are supposed to go to the My Trips area in the accounts and look at the Change Passenger Details option.

2. Click on that choice and move forward on the changes that you would like to make.

3. Confirm changes by paying the applicable change fees.

4. On completion, the travelers will get a confirmation email or message.

 Via Customer Support 

The customers who cannot do that themselves can contact the customer support department of Qatar Airways to do it safely and systematically. Dial the customer care number of the airline. Give them the booking reference number, flights and the kind of changes they desire. The agent will take you through the eligibility and necessary documents. The change fee will be told by the agent. The new ticket with the right name will be delivered as soon as the payment is made.

Name Change Fees and Costs

Qatar Airways levies a fee to change the name, depending on the time that the request is placed:

1. Within 24 Hours of Booking: The Change Fee for Qatar Airways is 150 dollars within 24 Hours of Booking. The passengers are required to present records showing the appropriate name.

2. After 24 Hours of Booking: The rate goes up to $250. The charge is per head of passengers and demands the same form of documentation.

If passengers request changes that do not meet the character or documentation rules, they must cancel the existing ticket (with the cancellation/refund subject to fare rules) and make a new booking.
