Is it too late to get apple care?

I bought my MacBook less than a year ago and all this while i thought i had apple care. However i was told that i actually don't. theres nothing wrong with my MacBook however i'm scare something will.

Every single website i searched told me that it can be done as long as it hasn't past a year, however an apple representative told me it wasn't.

Is it actually too late and if so, why do all the websites tell me i can still do it?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

In the past the requirement was that you needed to buy it within a year but for the last several years it has been 60 days. See the following from AppleCare Products - Mac - Apple


How to buy

  1. Purchase AppleCare+ with your new Mac.
  2. Or buy it within 60 days of your Mac purchase:
    • On your device (go to  > About This Mac > Support)
    • Online (requires you to verify your serial number)
    • At an Apple Store (inspection of Mac and proof of purchase are required)
    • By calling 800-275-2273
