Example checklist before buying/using a secondhand IQOS

Ask the seller for clear photos of the serial on the device and box.
Ask for the original purchase receipt or proof of sale.
Verify the serial via the official website or support.
Inspect physical condition and test charging/operation if possible.
Confirm warranty status and transferability (if relevant in your region).

Location on the ILUMA Series (Newest Model)

For IQOS ILUMA devices (which use induction heating), the serial number is found via Bluetooth in the IQOS app, or physically inside the charging case lid.

Method 1: Official IQOS Website (Global)

Go to your local IQOS website (e.g., iqos.com for your country). Do not use third-party lookup sites.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and find "Customer Service" or "Support."
Look for "Warranty" or "Product Registration."
Enter your serial number exactly as it appears (case-sensitive).
Click "Verify."
Result interpretation:
- “Valid – Product under warranty” – You are safe.
- “Invalid” – Likely counterfeit or pre-production prototype.
- “Not found” – Grey market import (not meant for your region).

Location on the Pocket Charger (The Case)

Open the lid: Open the flap that holds the holder.
Inside the crevice: The serial number is usually etched inside the lid, on the hinge, or on the inner wall where the holder sits.
Bottom of the charger: Flip the pocket charger over. Some models print the serial number on the bottom sticker alongside the input/output voltage (5V/1A).

2. Warranty Validation

An authentic IQOS device comes with a standard 12-month warranty (sometimes 24 months in the European Union). However, PMI will only honor this warranty if the device was purchased from an authorized retailer and the serial number is valid. Trying to claim a repair for a dead battery? The first thing the service center does is an IQOS serial number check.
