iPhone IMEI check

Client

iPhone IMEI check validates the modem serial copied from Settings → General → About (or the SIM tray engraving on older models). Local Luhn and TAC readout—no Apple GSX or carrier entitlement query.

iPhone intake tip

Photograph About screen and tray engraving when buying used—paste both strings here to confirm they match structurally before payment.

Privacy: digits are parsed only in your browser—no carrier or GSMA lookup, no upload. Treat device identifiers like any sensitive paste on shared machines.

A 15-digit IMEI is commonly described as eight-digit TAC + six-digit serial + Luhn check digit; the trailing digit should satisfy ISO/IEC 7812 mod 10 on the full string—same arithmetic as debit/credit PAN checks. A 16-digit IMEISVappends two software version digits instead of exposing the standalone check position; carriers may still relate it to IMEI numbering but this page stops at segmentation and does not certify assignment.

Result

Passes Luhn mod 10 on the 15-digit string.

  • TAC (8): 35693803
  • Serial (6): 564380
  • Check (1): 9

Common use cases

  • Pre-validate IMEI before AppleCare or insurance paperwork.
  • Compare tray engraving vs About screen on used iPhone purchases.
  • Support desk paste-verify during activation calls.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Pasting serial number (SN) instead of IMEI

    Apple serial and IMEI are different fields on About.

  • Using MEID on CDMA-era iPhone labels interchangeably

    Confirm whether the form wants IMEI or MEID for that model.

  • Expecting iPhone IMEI check to show iCloud lock

    Activation lock status is not available from format validation.
