Apple Care+ Purchase from different country

I have recently purchases a macbook pro from the USA and i reside in India. I want to purchase the apple care+ plan for my macbook. However i'm unable to register for the same online.

What are the other ways to purchase apple care+? Can i ask my friend in US to visit an apple store and purchase on my behalf, but the laptop is with me in India, is it possible to yet purchase?

Hi,

As far as I know, the warranty and AppleCare or AppleCare+ are only valid in the country where the MacBook Pro was originally sold. If you purchased it in the US, you can only buy additional coverage from Apple in the US and that coverage will only be valid in the US within 90days from purchase date.

You only need receipt and serial number when you purchase AppleCare+.

For more information, contact Apple support in India.

Sorry for confusion.

Reread AppleCare+ document, AppleCare+ for Mac provides global repair coverage, both parts and labor, from Apple-authorized technicians around the world. Coverage includes the following:

  • Your Mac computer
  • Battery1
  • Included accessories such as the power adapter
  • Apple memory (RAM)
  • AirPort4
  • Apple USB SuperDrive
  • Coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage, each subject to a service fee of $99 for screen damage or external enclosure damage, or $299 for other damage, plus applicable tax


Important notes

Purchase AppleCare+ with your new Mac. Or buy it within 60 days of your Mac purchase:

  • Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
  • At an Apple Store (inspection of Mac and proof of purchase are required)
  • By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

For Mac computers running macOS Server, the plan covers server administration and network management issues using the graphical user interface of macOS Server. For advanced server operation and integration issues, purchase AppleCare OS Support.

See AppleCare+ Terms and Conditions for complete product details.


Anyway you'd better contact Apple support in India about AppleCare+ is available to purchase for your MacBook Pro in India.
