Under certain conditions, such as legal name changes resulting from marriage or divorce and small spelling corrections, United Airlines permits passengers to modify the name on their tickets. Passengers need to present supporting documentation, such as a marriage certificate or court order, in order for United Airlines name change Policy to be authorized. Generally, spelling corrections involving up to three letters can be completed without paperwork. Requests for changes must be made via United's customer support. Fees for name changes vary depending on the fare type and timing of the change request.
