LATAM Airlines Name Change Policy Guide

 

LATAM Airlines Name Change Policy Guide

call : +1-888-449-3560  If you notice a spelling mistake in your name after booking a LATAM Airlines ticket, it is important to correct the information before traveling. The name on your reservation should match your identification or travel document. LATAM Airlines distinguishes between a simple name correction, a legal name change, and transferring a ticket to another person. The rules can also vary depending on the route, fare, and whether the flight is operated entirely by LATAM. 

LATAM Airlines Name Correction Policy

LATAM allows certain minor corrections to a passenger's first or last name. According to its current guidance, spelling mistakes of up to three letters or reversing the order of a first or last name can generally be corrected once without a fee when the flight is operated entirely by LATAM. The original flight, travel date, and cabin must remain unchanged.  

This means a small typing mistake may be treated differently from a request to replace the passenger with another person.

How to Correct a Name on a LATAM Ticket

Step 1: Check Your Reservation

Go to LATAM's My Trips section and enter your order number or reservation code together with the passenger's last name. You can use this area to review and manage your trip. 

Step 2: Identify the Type of Correction

Check whether the problem is a minor spelling error, reversed name order, or a legal name change. A minor typo may qualify for the one-time free correction, while a legal name change requires supporting documentation. 

Step 3: Contact LATAM if Required

LATAM states that passengers should contact its Contact Center for assistance with name corrections. If the ticket was purchased through a travel agency, the correction should generally be requested directly through that agency. 

Step 4: Provide Supporting Documents

For a legal name change, LATAM requires documentation supporting the change. Depending on the situation, this can include an official document showing the passenger's current legal name. LATAM may also request identification documents when updating personal information. 

Step 5: Confirm the Updated Ticket

After the correction is processed, check your reservation and travel documents again. Make sure the corrected name is displayed properly before completing check-in.

Can You Change a LATAM Ticket to Another Person?

A passenger name correction is not the same as transferring a ticket. LATAM's published rules state that ticket transfers to another person are permitted for travel within Chile or Peru when the request is made up to 24 hours before the flight, subject to the applicable country-specific conditions.  

For travel within Chile, LATAM states that after a previous transfer, a passenger must wait six months before making another request and is limited to two transfers per calendar year. Peru has different rules, with transfers handled through LATAM's Contact Center. 

Name Change for Tickets Bought Through a Travel Agency

If you purchased your LATAM ticket through a travel agency, contact the agency that issued the ticket. LATAM specifically advises agency customers to request name corrections directly through the agency. This can be particularly important when the booking contains multiple passengers or additional airline services 

Important Tips Before Traveling

Do not wait until the airport to report a name problem if you can resolve it earlier. Check your passport or other travel document against the name on your reservation as soon as possible after booking.

Also, do not assume that a name correction means you can change the flight, date, or cabin at the same time. LATAM's minor correction policy requires the original flight, date, and cabin to remain the same. Flight changes are handled separately and depend on the ticket's fare conditions.
