How to find the Serial Number of USB-C Adapter using the Order Number

Hi,

I bought a 20w usb-c adapter couple of months ago. Is there a way to see the serial number of this adapter by the order number? I know where to see on the adapter what I need is a prove that I ordered that adapter because someone stole from me.

NOTE: To those posting their power adapter's model or serial numbers here, this will not help you with either recovering a lost or stolen adapter, nor will it help you identify, whether or not, the adapter is an original Apple product or a fake.


No one here (we are not Apple employees), nor Apple keeps track of these adapters by serial number.


As brbo has already mentioned, there are only a few methods to find the adapter's serial number:

  • On either an electronic or paper receipt, and/or
  • On the box that the adapter came in.

Check it original or not

It can't be done. The serial number cannot be used to determine the authenticity of a charger.


If it's a cable, you can check here - Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories - Apple Support


Ultimately though, if you bought it directly from an Apple Authorized Retailer, you've got nothing to worry about.
