Find the serial number of your Apple product

Learn how to find the serial number of an iPhone, iPad, iPod, HomePod, Mac, or other Apple product.

Check here first


Depending on the product, you can find its serial number in one or more of these ways:

Check the surface of your product for a printed serial number.

On Mac, choose Apple menu  > About This Mac.

On iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch, go to Settings > General > About.

If you don’t have your Mac or it doesn’t start up, use one of these solutions instead:

Find the serial number printed on the underside of your Mac, near the regulatory markings. It’s also on the original packaging, next to a barcode label. You can then enter that serial number on the Check Coverage page or Tech Specs page to find your model.
The original packaging might also show an Apple part number, such as MLH12xx/A (“xx” is a variable that differs by country or region). You can match the Apple part number to one in the list below to find your model.
