Misspelled middle name in passport [duplicate]

Misspelled middle name in passport [duplicate] - Platform in Middle of Sea

My middle name on my passport is missing one letter, so different from my ticket. Will this be an issue? Doroty vs Dorothy



Best Answer

Most likely not a problem but at least in one case Passenger refused flight over missing letter on airline ticket -- but the title is sensational if you read carefully all the airline said they can't guarantee the connecting airline won't have a problem.

This thread reports a number of cases when this hasn't been a problem.

This forum post says

Turns out I've been flying with different middle names on my [driving licence] and passport for years. Tickets match passport, but I've often showed my DL and no one has batted an eye.

Summary: I would call the airline especially if you are connecting.

Does middle name have to match passport?

Answer: It's is not mandatory to enter your middle name on the application form. The passport will be issued in the name you entered in it as long as it is supported by the name change document you submitted.
