If the device is associated with your Apple ID, sign in at AppleID.Apple.Com and tap Devices in the left column, and find and tap on the device of interest, and scroll down and view both the serial number and IMEI.


If the iPhone is not associated with your Apple ID, then check your original purchase receipt, or check with your carrier.


And no, Apple does not provide a means to track a device by either serial number or by IMEI. That would be a privacy and safety disaster. Find My is what is available, and that is opt-in.
