Find hidden information about your MacBook or iMac quickly and accurately using its serial number.
What is a Mac serial number?
Your Mac serial number is unique — no other Apple device has the same. It’s your key to identification, safety, and support. The serial number helps you:
Helps discover the Mac model, chip (Intel or M), memory (16GB, 32GB, etc.), and other specs.
Lets you verify the device's authenticity and protect yourself from stolen or counterfeit devices.
Provides access to the warranty status, and by knowing the specs, lets you get compatible parts.
Whenever you’re dealing with a used Mac or buying one outside an official Apple store, it’s important to verify the device.
Provide the number to a buyer to verify Mac authenticity. Use a Mac serial number lookup tool to ensure a secure transaction.
Play it safe by ensuring the Mac isn't counterfeit or stolen, and that specs match the seller’s claims.
Understand your rights regarding repairs, warranty, AppleCare+ coverage, or service from Apple.
You can find your Mac’s serial number in three basic ways: by checking System information, the device itself, or your Apple Account.
Go to Apple menu > About This Mac.
On the underside of your Mac, look for a 10-digit etched code.
Log into Apple account > Devices > [Your Mac] and locate its serial number.
A Mac’s serial number is like its DNA, deciphering its history, all key features, and authenticity.
