GuardianTrace

Register. Protect. Recover.

Register your valuables and check whether an item is reported lost or stolen.

Verify an item

Check the identification number before you buy.

For most phones, dial *#06# to find the IMEI. Use the number on the item itself.

Seller details Optional for a general registry check

For a purchase check, provide both seller fields. Use city/area, not a home address. Seller details aren’t saved by GuardianTrace and don’t verify the seller’s identity or location.

A registry check is not proof of ownership. Check the seller’s documents too.

Before you buy

A few simple checks can help you make a more informed purchase.

1

Find the item’s number

Use the IMEI, serial number or VIN on the item itself. Compare it with the receipt or ownership documents.

2

Check the registry

Enter the number above and read the result. An item without a matching report is not guaranteed to be legitimate.

3

Ask the seller for proof

Confirm who you’re buying from and ask for proof of ownership before completing the purchase.

Register an item you own

Keep its identification details and proof of ownership together.
