How can I correct or change a passenger name with TAP Air Portugal?
That statement does not provide a complete, separately priced policy for every spelling correction or legal-name issue, so do not assume either a universal correction fee or a free correction. Contact TAP for a direct purchase, or the issuing agency for an agency ticket, and describe the exact discrepancy. Say whether the same person is traveling, which letters or name fields differ, and what appears on the travel document. Ask the issuer to confirm whether the case is a permitted correction and whether the ticket needs to be reissued. Have the booking reference and the original confirmation ready. Share identity documents only through the issuer’s secure channel, not a public discussion. Before accepting any paid remedy, obtain its full cost and check whether the existing flights remain intact. The corrected ticket, rather than a changed customer profile, is what you need to verify afterward.
