Airlines must have the exact name on your booking that appears on your passport or government-issued ID. Even small errors like missing letters or misplaced spaces can cause boarding issues. Common mistakes include:
- Misspelled first or last name
- Reversed order of names
- Missing middle name
- Typo during online booking
Air Canada allows minor name corrections but not complete name changes (like transferring tickets to another person).
Here’s what you can usually correct:
Spelling errors (up to 3 characters)
Legal name changes due to marriage, divorce, or official reasons (documentation required)
Addition or removal of middle name if required by travel documents
You can fix your name in one of the following ways:
- Visit the Air Canada website.
- Go to “Manage Booking” and enter your ticket details.
- Look for the Name Correction option (if available).
- Submit your request and upload documents if needed.
If the online option doesn’t show up, call
If you’re already near your departure date, visit the Air Canada ticket counter. Bring your passport and any supporting legal documents.
When requesting a correction, prepare the following:
- Passport or ID copy

- Marriage certificate (for last name change)

- Court order or legal name change certificate

- Original booking confirmation or e-ticket
- Always double-check your name before confirming a ticket.
- Some tickets booked via agencies may require processing directly through them.
- For group or family bookings, each traveler’s correction must be done separately.
- Last-minute name corrections may incur a small fee, depending on fare rules.
Getting your name corrected on a Air Canada ticket is easy if you act fast. Whether it’s a simple typo or a legal update, the airline provides quick solutions and helpful support. For the fastest response, contact the Air Canada Help Desk anytime at
