{Spirit-ticket} Can I change the name on a Spirit ticket?
Spirit tickets generally don’t allow name changes. Call +1-888-415-1051 to ask about possible exceptions or alternatives for your booking.
* Spirit allows **minor name corrections**. If you made a typo — for example misspelled your first or last name, switched two letters, or omitted a middle name — you can request a correction on your ticket. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* If your name has changed legally (for example through marriage, divorce, or another valid legal name change), Spirit typically permits you to update your ticket — provided you supply valid documentation (e.g., a marriage license, court order, divorce decree). ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* These corrections must be done **before** departure — ideally well in advance, since making changes on the day of travel is often restricted. ([Flying Policy][2])

## ⚠️ What you *cannot* do — transfer the ticket
* Spirit’s policy disallows fully transferring a ticket to a different person. In other words, you **cannot** simply give or sell your ticket to another individual and have them travel in your place. ([EVINTRA][3])
* Even if you request a full name change (first name + last name to a completely different person), that counts as a “transfer,” and Spirit does **not** allow that. ([airlinesupports][4])

## 📄 What you’ll need to do — and possible fees
* For **minor fixes** (typos, misspellings) — usually nothing more than contacting Spirit (online or by phone) and providing the correct name is required. These are often handled at no extra cost. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* For **legal name changes** — you’ll need to send proof (e.g. marriage certificate, court order). The airline will verify documentation before updating your booking. ([customersupport.spirit.com][1])
* If changes are requested too close to departure, or if the request involves more than a minor correction, additional fees might apply — depending on fare type, route, and how late the request comes in. ([spiritairconnect.com][5])

## 🎯 What to do if you booked via a travel agency
* If your booking was not made directly with Spirit (for example, via a third‑party travel agent or aggregator), you might need to contact that agent to request a name correction. Spirit might not always accept direct corrections on third‑party bookings. ([spiritairconnect.com][5])

## ✅ Bottom Line
Yes — you **can** change the name on a Spirit Airlines ticket — but only for minor corrections or legitimate legal name changes. Full name transfers (i.e. giving the ticket to another person) are **not permitted**. If you spot a typo or need to update your name after a legal change, contact Spirit as soon as possible with the correct details (and any required documents); small fixes are usually free, but larger edits — or late requests — may involve fees.
