Name Policy
A name mismatch on a JetBlue ticket — even one letter — can cause serious problems at the gate. TSA's Secure Flight program requires the name on your boarding pass to exactly match your government-issued ID. Here's everything you need to know about fixing a JetBlue name error.
JetBlue allows minor name corrections (up to 3 characters) for a fee of $25–$100 depending on the correction type and how close to departure. Corrections must match a government-issued photo ID. Legal name changes require documentation and must be submitted well in advance of travel.
If you've recently changed your name due to marriage, divorce, or a court order, JetBlue requires supporting documentation. Processing times vary and can be 24–72 hours — acting as early as possible before your departure is critical.
JetBlue name corrections are far easier and cheaper when requested well before your departure. Same-day corrections at the airport are stressful and uncertain.
You'll need your JetBlue booking confirmation number, the name as it appears on the ticket, and the correct legal name as it appears on your government-issued photo ID.
A minor typo fix and a full legal name change follow very different JetBlue processes with different fees and timelines. Knowing which applies saves time and money.
Always get your updated JetBlue itinerary emailed after the correction. Verify the name exactly matches your ID before heading to the airport.
