In instances where a Name Correction is required before ticketing, it should be done within the general rules of name update (up to 3 letters). In an instance where Name Correction or Name Change is required after ticketing, Passenger can contact Reservation and Ticketing Office (Email: cc@iasl.aero / 1671).

Name correction shall be understood as correction of passenger's surname (family name), first name, middle name, title or PTC due to spelling mistake or missing part of name (e.g. missing middle name).

• Misspelled name when a letter is omitted, transposed or incorrectly typed
• Transposed name which appears out of order, i.e. AHMED/MOHAMED instead of MOHAMED/AHMED
• Omitted part of name, i.e. omitted middle name
• Changing a first name from a nickname to a given name 
• Changing the name to match travel documents as long as it is the same person travelling
• Changing a first name booked as an initial provided the name begins with the same letter as initial, i.e. M to MOHAMED
• Removing prefixes, i.e. Dr.

Name change is defined as complete change of passenger's surname (family name), first name, middle name or any/all combination of them due to:

• Legal reasons, i.e. marriage, divorce, adoption which can be validated by verifying the date of birth in the original and new document (e.g. in the passport or any other official document issued by local authorities due to name change)

This process is limited only to cases where passenger legally changed it. Any other scenario is restricted for passengers booked on Q2 flights, codeshare or interline itineraries and/or ticketed on 986 stock/plate.
