Register device on my account, but another account uses the iPad?

Hi all :)


We have a heap of apple devices in our home, including my kids’ new iPads.


Can I register/activate them under my Apple ID, and set up AppleCare+ etc, but then log into my kids’ Apple ID on the actual iPad so that it’s theirs to use as they already do on their current ones?


I’d just rather all the warranty/support all in one place, under my account, rather than logging into each child’s account online to see the warranty status, serial or whatever etc.


Thanks :)

There's more information about this in AppleCare Products - iPad - Apple

This one may particularly answer some questions because what you can do depends upon the plans you wish to buy. Transfer your AppleCare plan - Apple Support


For more questions I suggest you ask Apple. Refer to this page for Apple Support features ➔ Contact - Official Apple Support

Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
