Qatar Airways name & title correction
Two things people search for with Qatar Airways: fixing a misspelled name, and fixing a wrong title (Mr/Mrs/Ms). Both are usually correctable for the same traveler — but a change to a different person isn't a correction, and some changes may need the airline's sign-off. Here's how it works.
Quick answer
- Spelling fix or a wrong title (Mr/Mrs) → usually correctable for the same passenger.
- A different person → not allowed; that's a new ticket.
- Some corrections may need airline authorization — your agent can request it.
- Booked on qatarairways.com? Ask Qatar. Via agent/OTA? Ask them.
- Transiting Doha? Make sure the ticket matches your passport exactly.
Name vs. title
A title correction (e.g. Mr entered instead of Ms, or a missing title) is a common, usually simple fix. A name correction fixes a spelling error in your first/last name for the same traveler. Both keep the same passenger — neither lets you put a different person on the ticket.
How to request it
- Booked on qatarairways.com / app / phone: contact Qatar and ask for a name or title correction, passport spelling ready.
- Booked with an agent or us: the issuer handles it, and can request airline authorization if needed.
- Booked with an OTA: the OTA that issued the ticket must make the change.
Doha transit & documents
If you connect through Doha, an exact passport match avoids problems at the transit point. Have your passport ready, and a marriage or legal document for a surname change. Fix it before check-in.
Don't do: treat moving the ticket to another person as a "correction." A different traveler isn't allowed — that's a new booking, which we can price for you.
