You can delete your Delta SkyMiles account if you no longer need it. The easiest way to delete your account is by contacting the support team. To delete your account, you must have your phone number, account number, and Social Security Number.

Updating Your Basic Information

You don't need to delete your account when you need to change your name or basic information. With the right documentation, you can update your name. You may provide a copy of your marriage certificate, court order, or divorce certificate.

The name you provide on your SkyMiles account should be similar to the name on your legal documents such as your passport and driver's license.

If you wish to change your gender or date of birth, you must provide a copy of your identity verification document. There are instructions on the Identity Verification Form that you have to follow. Submit your documentation along with your request.

You don't require any documentation to complete a middle name change. You may add a middle name, change your middle name to an initial, or change your initial to a full name.

Updating Your Delta SkyMiles Address

There is no need to delete your account when you wish to change your address. Some of the documents that you may need to provide include;

1. Your ID with a new address

2. Your utility bill dated within 60 days and showing your new address

3. A bank statement with your name and address, dated within 60 days

4. Your mortgage, deed, residential rental/lease agreement or mortgage statement providing proof of your new address

5. A letter from your employer confirming that you have a new address. Your letter has to be signed by your supervisor with their full contact information

6. A payroll statement with your name and address, dated within 60 days

7. A receipt of your real estate or personal property taxes that you paid within the past year

8. Confirmation of address change from the postal service

9. A copy of your school records from a school where you are enrolled

10. Your life, homeowners, renters, or automobile insurance bill

There are times when you may need to submit additional details to change your address. One such instance is when you need to move outside the United States.

Contacting the Support Team
