IndiGo name correction (6E): how to fix a wrong name

ℹ️

IndiGo lets you correct a spelling mistake on a ticket, usually for a fee. The key thing travelers get wrong: a correction keeps the same passenger — IndiGo does not let you hand the ticket to a different person. Here's how it works.

Quick answer

  • Spelling fix, wrong order, missing middle name → usually allowed as a correction, often for a fee.
  • A different passenger → not allowed; you'd need a new booking.
  • Match your government ID (passport for international, valid photo ID for domestic India).
  • Booked on goindigo.in? Request it from IndiGo. Via an agent/OTA? Ask them.
  • Want it done without the guesswork? We can check your 6E ticket — see below.

What IndiGo allows — and the fee

IndiGo treats a name correction as fixing a genuine spelling error for the same traveler, and typically charges a correction fee (the amount depends on the fare and when you ask). It is not a way to transfer the booking to someone else — that's the single biggest misunderstanding, and it won't be allowed.

⚠️ Draft: confirm IndiGo's current correction fee, the allowed extent of a correction and the request window from IndiGo's official policy before publishing, and add a "Last checked" date.

How to request it

ID matching — domestic vs international

For domestic India flights, your IndiGo ticket must match the photo ID you'll show (e.g. passport, or another accepted government ID). For international flights it must match your passport exactly. Fix any mismatch before travel.

Don't do: buy an IndiGo ticket in the wrong person's name planning to "correct" it to someone else. IndiGo won't allow a transfer — you'd lose the fare and have to rebook.

Frequently asked questions

Does IndiGo charge for a name correction?
Usually yes — IndiGo typically charges a correction fee for a spelling fix, depending on the fare and timing. Confirm the current amount for your ticket.
Can I transfer my IndiGo ticket to another person?
No. IndiGo allows correcting a spelling error for the same passenger, not changing the ticket to a different person — that needs a new booking.
How do I fix a name mismatch on an IndiGo ticket?
Request a name correction from whoever issued the ticket (IndiGo if you booked direct, otherwise your agent/OTA), and match your government ID exactly.
Is a middle name required on an IndiGo ticket?
Match your government ID — if your ID shows a middle name, include it. Fix mismatches before travel to avoid issues at the airport.
