How to find your AppleCare registration number
Summary
You'll need the AppleCare registration number to register a recently purchased AppleCare agreement if your agreement hasn't been registered yet.
Products Affected
Apple Cinema Displays, Apple TV, Mac desktops, Mac notebooks, Xsan, iPad, iPhone, iPod
In general, to find the registration number of any AppleCare agreement:
- Check inside the original retail box or envelope of the agreement. Refer to the table below for images of the boxes.
- Find a card or booklet called "Getting Started" or "Web Registration Instructions." This card or booklet will show your AppleCare agreement's registration number.
- If you do not have the retail box or envelope or cannot find the card or booklet inside, contact AppleCare Agreement Support with your original receipt (or purchase order) and the serial number of the product covered by the agreement.
- If you purchase your AppleCare agreement at the same time as your hardware products from the Apple Online Store, the Apple Retail Store, or select Apple resellers, your AppleCare agreement may be automatically registered.
