How to find the IMEI and serial number on an iPad in 4 different ways
On the back of your iPad
In the Settings app on your iPad
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
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.
Connect your iPad to iTunes or Finder
1. Connect your iPad to your Mac or PC.
2. Open iTunes on your computer (on a Mac running macOS Mojave or earlier, or a PC), or open your Finder (on a Mac running macOS Catalina).
3. You may have to permit your computer access to your iPad by punching in your password in your iPad.
4. When you first connect it, iTunes will default to your iPad's summary page. If it's already connected, tap on the iPad icon in the top (it will be a small rectangle) and that will bring up the Summary page. Finder on macOS Catalina will open onto a "General" page with the same information when you tap the icon for your iPad.
5. You should see your iPad's serial number. Click on the serial number to show your iPad's other identifying numbers (including IMEI with cellular model).
