Serial Number Mac Unveiled with Terminal

Know your Mac’s serial number will help you to identify your system with Apple. There’s an online official Apple serial number checker here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do?newid=y which allows you to enter your Apple’s serial number and get a lot of information related to your device.

 

There are a lot of ways to check your Mac serial number, one of the method I normally use is using Terminal, which is consistent across various versions of Mac OS, and in this article, I will show you how to do that:

 

1. Open Terminal (from Spotlight or Application\Utilities folder)

2. Enter the command

 

system_profiler | grep "r (system)"

 

3. Wait a little, and the system will reply you with the serial number of your Mac:

 

Serial Number (system): <Your serial number here>
