If you don't have your device

There are several places to check that might show your device's serial or IMEI/MEID number.


  1. Go to your Apple ID account page (appleid.apple.com) in a web browser on your computer.
  2. Sign in with the Apple ID that you use on the device that you need the serial or IMEI/MEID of. 
  3. Scroll down to the section called Devices. To see a device's serial and IMEI/MEID number, select that device.


If you still need help, here's what to try next:


  • Do you have a different iOS device with iOS 10.3 or later that's
  • signed in to your Apple ID? On that device, tap Settings > [Your
  • name]. Scroll down to see any devices signed in to your Apple ID. To
  • view the serial and IMEI/MEID number, tap the device name.
  • Do you still have your device's original package? Find the serial number and IMEI/MEID on the barcode:
  • Still can't find the number that you need? Contact Apple Support by selecting your device from this list:
