Apple 1-year warranty without receipt

I'm thinking about purchasing a used iPad and most sellers don't have the receipt but I checked on the support coverage page (https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do) and the serial number says there's still a couple months warranty remaining.

My question is, if I buy a used device without receipt, will I be eligible for the remaining months of warranty or do I need to have the receipt?

Thanks!

Apple keeps a record of the sale of the device in most cases. That means just providing your serial number to Apple provides them the information about your device, including warranty status. So you should be fine in most cases.

Thanks Evan! Do you by any chance know how accurate the "Estimated Expiration Date" is on that warranty lookup page?
