How to change passenger name on Singapore Airlines?


The Singapore Airlines passenger name change policy can make it a little more complicated to transfer the ticket into someone else's name. A simple guide to do that is given below.


### 1. **Minor Corrections**


**Typographical Errors**: In that case, you may only correct typographical errors such as a spelling mistake or when the name on the ticket does not match with the passport. This often involves proofreading typographical errors, adding or deleting a middle name, or changing the presentation.


*Contact Customer Service: *Speak to customer service of Singapore Airlines as soon as you see an error on the ticket. You can contact them through the hotline, email or visit a Singapore Airlines ticketing office. They will assist you with the procedure and tell you if there is any fee if this correction can be done.


### 2. **Legal Name Changes**


- **Supporting Documents** Required: if your name change is because of legal reasons (e.g.Marriage, Divorce, or any other legally done name changes), Singapore Airlines will ask for official documents. That could be a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or legal name change document.


**Submit a Request**: You can contact Singapore Airlines directly, providing them with the necessary evidence to request a name change. Depending on the request, you will either be notified of additional steps needed (and fees) or forwarded to them upon completion.


### 3. **Ticket Rebooking**


*Name Change*: When you need to completely change the name on your ticket (i.e., someone else is traveling and originally, it was booked with the wrong person as a guest), Singapore Airlines does not normally allow for just simply altering names at no additional fee. In this case, you might need to cancel the ticket (fare rules apply, plus potential fees) and create a new booking with the correct name.


- **Cancellation Fees**: Note that cancellation and rebooking of a ticket may result in fees - these vary according to the type of policies, so please pay attention.


### 4. Reservations Need to be made via booking agencies


– Third-Party Bookings: If you were booking the ticket through a travel agent or through a third-party website then contact them to make changes. This will be done in coordination with Singapore Airlines to rectify the name.


### 5. **fees**


- **Fees**: Small corrections can be made free of charge but big changes (like the rebooking) might come with fee costs at their discretion. Check with Singapore Airlines or your booking agent for any charges.


### Summary


Singapore Airlines: For passengers on Singapore Airlines you can request minor changes or corrections (eg legal name change) in passenger names by contacting customer service and presenting the required documentation. If the change you wish to make is significant, then no, and you have to cancel and rebook the ticket. Always look out as there may be a fee that also applies or if the booking is from an agent, contact them for further clarification.
