# Atlas Name Change Policy

**Name change** refers to r**eplacing the originally booked passenger with a different passenger.** 

This is **distinct from a name correction**, which covers minor typographical errors (e.g. spelling mistakes) and does not involve changing the passenger’s identity.

#### Atlas Name Change Policy: Not Supported 

Atlas **does not support name change requests**. The reasons for this are: 

* Name changes are **restricted by most airlines** 
* Approval is **fully airline-controlled** and varies by fare rules 
* Many airlines treat name changes as a **ticket reissue or cancellation** rather than a modification 
* Handling name changes within Atlas introduces **operational, compliance, and ticketing risk** 

 

**Recommendation** 

If a passenger needs to be replaced with another individual, you should:

* **Contact the airline directly** via airline direct B2C or B2B channels 
* Review the airline’s fare rules and name change policy 
* Be prepared for reissuance, additional fees, or denial depending on airline rules 

Any name change approved by the airline will be handled **outside of Atlas**.
