Copa Airlines Name Change Policy

Copa Airlines maintains a strict policy regarding name changes and corrections on issued tickets:

Name Changes:

Prohibited: Copa Airlines does not permit name changes on tickets. This means transferring a ticket to another individual by changing the name is not allowed.

Name Corrections:

Minor Corrections: If there's a minor typographical error in the passenger's name, corrections may be possible. However, such corrections are not allowed once any portion of the ticket has been used.

Procedure for Requesting a Name Correction:

1. Submit a Request Form: Complete the "Name Correction Request" form available on Copa Airlines' Help Center.
2. Contact Customer Service: After submitting the form, contact Copa Airlines' call center and provide your case number to facilitate assistance.

Important Considerations:

Time Restrictions: Name corrections are not permitted within 24 hours of the flight's departure time.

Documentation: Be prepared to provide a copy of the passenger's passport or government-issued identification to support the correction request.

Tickets Issued via Travel Agencies: If your ticket was purchased through a travel agency, contact them directly for any name corrections, as they will handle the process in accordance with Copa Airlines' policies.

Contact Information:

Customer Service: Visit Copa Airlines' Customer Service page for regional contact numbers and assistance.

To avoid complications, ensure that the name on your ticket matches exactly with your government-issued identification at the time of booking. If discrepancies are found, address them promptly by following the outlined procedures.
