All iOS and iPadOS devices have a serial number, and ones with cellular connection also have a 15-digit International Mobile Equipment Identity — or IMEI number.

How to find the IMEI and serial number on your iPad

Your iPad will have an IMEI number only if it's a cellular model. Otherwise, most iPads only have a serial number, and don't have an IMEI number.

There are several ways to find the IMEI number and the serial number on your iPad. Here's how to do it.

On the back of your iPad

1. Turn your iPad over.

2. Just underneath where it says "iPad" you'll find small writing. You may need a magnifying glass to read it. Your serial number will be included there, as well as the IMEI, if it's an iPad cellular model.

In the Settings app on your iPad

You can see the identification numbers in the About tab.

1. Open Settings.

2. Scroll down to and tap on General.

3. Tap on About.

4. The serial number will be there (and IMEI if you have an iPad cellular model).

Log into your Apple ID account online

Find your identification numbers online by logging into your Apple ID account.

1. You can find your IMEI number online at appleid.apple.com. Log into your account with your Apple ID.

2. Scroll down to your devices.

3. Click on your iPad. You may have to authenticate your identity.

4. It will show both your IMEI and serial number for your iPad, if you have a cellular model.
