Southwest Airlines Name Change Policy

Southwest Airlines' policies regarding name changes on reservations are as follows:

Minor Name Corrections: Southwest permits one minor name correction per ticketed passenger. Acceptable corrections include:

• Inverted names
• Adding or removing a middle name or initial
• Adding or removing a hyphenated last name
• Correcting minor typographical errors (up to three characters) in the first name
• Adding or removing prefixes or suffixes (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Dr., Jr.)

These corrections can be made by contacting Southwest's Customer Service.

Major Name Changes: For significant name changes, such as those due to marriage or divorce, Southwest requires a written request along with legal documentation supporting the change. You can submit this request via their website or by mail to Rapid Rewards, P.O. Box 36657, Dallas, Texas 75235.

Group Reservations: If you're traveling as part of a group reservation (10 or more passengers), Southwest allows unlimited name changes up to 72 hours before departure without additional fees.

It's important to ensure that the name on your reservation matches your government-issued identification to avoid any issues during travel. For specific assistance or to initiate a name change, it's recommended to contact Southwest Airlines' Customer Service directly.
