Check a Mac Pro serial.

Enter a Mac Pro serial and Macfax returns the exact model and year. One Apple Silicon Mac Pro exists — the 2023 M2 Ultra, in tower and rack form — so a serial check mostly answers whether you're looking at it or at an Intel tower from 2019 or earlier.

Serials are 10–12 characters: 10 on 2021+ Macs, 11–12 on older ones. , or read how Mac serial numbers work. Have a listing link instead of a serial? Run a listing check.

On the machine

Find the serial on a Mac Pro.

  • On the chassis: printed on the underside of the tower frame; on the rack model, near the mounting hardware.
  • On any Mac that boots: Apple menu → About This Mac shows the serial.
  • Off the machine: the original box carries it on the barcode label, and it appears on the Apple invoice.
  • Buying one? Ask for a photo of About This Mac and one of the printed serial, and check the two match.
