Finding your UDID

What is the UDID?

Each iPhone or iPod Touch has a Unique Device Identifier (UDID), which is a sequence of 40 letters and numbers that is specific to your device. It’s similar to a serial number but much harder to guess. It will look something like this:326d0c2c04d137be2e3230235f5664094b831186.

How do I get my UDID?

1. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone.
2. In the right pane, locate the information about your iPhone, including its name, capacity, software version, serial number, and phone number.
   
   
   
3. Reveal the Identifier by clicking on Serial Number:
   
   
   
4. Copy the Identifier to your clipboard by choosing Edit → Copy.
   
   
5. Paste the Identifier into an email to us (You should be able to paste into your mail program or web browser by selecting Edit → Paste).
