Required Action: Identification Name Needed on Out-of-Area Travel Form if Requesting Airline Tickets

It is important for staff members who are requesting airline tickets as part of an out-of-area trip to write their name as it appears on the form of identification they will use at the airport (e.g., driver’s license, passport) on their Out-of-Area Travel form. The Business Office needs to know this so it can make airline reservations using the exact name that is printed on a person’s identification. The name that appears on your identification must match the name on your airline ticket. Many people use nicknames for their first name, and this is very confusing for the Business Office when trying to make reservations. Staff members can write their ID name in the “other comments” section of the Out-of-Area Travel form.
