Delta Airlines Name Change Policy After Marriage: Everything You Should Know

 


Introduction

Article 1 Section 8 of the United States Constitution bears little relevance to the states of South Carolina or Massachusetts. To begin with, your name must match the one on a government-issued ID card including a passport or driver’s license for seamless travel. Here is an overview of Delta's policy on name change after marriage.


Ticket Name Change:

If a ticket has been booked in a previous name and you have recently married and want to change it, then it is generally possible to do so without a huge problem. However, there is one critical factor:


Name Changes: Delta will allow the correction of a name; however, if the name has to be wholly changed as opposed to just correcting a minor typo airline might need documentation for this, which could be in the form of a marriage certificate. Depending on the fare and timing, name changes aren't always free.


Timing: Changes must be done as far in advance as possible. That would mean, at best, right after the name change. Showing up at the airport with a different name than what is shown on your ticket might be delayed or, even worse, denied boarding.


- Customer Support Contact: Application of considerable name changes will be highly recommended by calling Delta's customer support at +1-800-416-8919. Have the confirmation number, marriage certificate, and updated ID with you for verification purposes.


 SkyMiles Account Name Change:

To make a name change in your Delta SkyMiles account:


- Online Submission: Log into your SkyMiles account, click "Profile," then attach a copy of your marriage certificate and also attach a government-issued ID that reflects your new name.


- Processing Time: Although the processing just takes a few days, a confirmation will be provided by Delta when it is complete.


- Miles Transfer: Neither the account history nor the current balance of your SkyMiles account would be affected by the name change.


 Final Tips:

Ensure Passport Matches: Before making international travel, ensure your passport reflects the updated name. Travel Insurance: In case you booked travel insurance, inform the provider about your name change to avoid any potential claim issues. Delta Airlines' name change policy due to marriage is pretty easy; it just calls for timely action and proper documentation. Be proactive to make sure your travel plans will remain smooth.
