Find my iPad with iMei or sereal

Hi there Lance790,

Thanks for connecting with us in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're asking how to find your iPad using the IMEI or serial number so that you can locate and erase it. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.

As it stands, you can't locate your iPad using the IMEI or serial number. If Find My wasn't turned on for your iPad before it went missing, you won't be able to locate it or erase it using the app. Have a look at this link to learn more:

Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item

With that said, you can follow the suggestions in the links below if your device is lost or stolen and if Find My iPad wasn't enabled:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

If Find My iPhone or Find My iPad isn't enabled on your missing device

We hope this information is helpful. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.

Take care.
