    Before you can register your Surface or get it serviced, you need to know its 12-digit serial number.

    The easiest way to find your serial number is in the Surface app.

    Note

    The Surface app isn’t available for Surface RT

    Open the app (search for Surface in the search box on the taskbar). Your serial number is listed under Your Surface.

    For more info on what you can do with the Surface app, see Install and use the Surface app.

    Find the serial number in Settings

    Another quick way to find the serial number is to type serial number in the search box on the taskbar, and select View your product ID in the search results. You’ll go to the About page in the Settings app—the serial number for your Surface will be listed there.
