How to register a Samsung product with your Samsung account

To get all of your Samsung account’s benefits, you will need to register your devices to the account. If you have a Galaxy phone, Galaxy tablet, or Samsung TV, the device should be automatically registered the first time you log into your Samsung account on the device. On the other hand, if you have a home appliance or other device you will need to manually register it via the Samsung website or the Samsung Members app. It is also a good idea to add your Samsung account to your child's products, and register them as well.

1. First, make sure you have already created a Samsung account.
2. When you’re ready, open a web browser and go to the Registration page on the Samsung website. You will be asked to sign in to your account if you haven’t already.
   
3. Select your product category, such as Phones, Tablets, Watches, etc.
4. Enter the product’s IMEI number (for devices with a cellular connection only) or its serial or model number.
   
   Note: For mobile devices without a cellular connection (like Wi-Fi tablets), make sure to select the Wi-Fi option in order to enter the serial number instead of an IMEI number.
5. If you do not know the product’s IMEI, serial, or model number, the website will have instructions on how to find it; select the Find your number option. You can also refer to the “Find the product's model, serial, or IMEI number” section for more information.
6. Once you’ve entered the number, select Register. The product will now be registered to your account.
7. If you are having trouble registering your product, please see the "Cannot register a device or appliance" section for troubleshooting steps.

You can use the Samsung Members app to register your products! The app lets you conveniently scan a device's QR code or barcode instead of manually entering it. You can also scan for devices over Wi-Fi if they're connected to the internet.

1. If you haven’t already, make sure you have the Samsung Members app on your Galaxy phone and sign in to your Samsung account.
2. Open Samsung Members, and then tap the Support tab. Tap Register, and then select a registration method. You can view the different methods in the next section.
   

The following registration methods are available in the Samsung Members app and may be available when registering from other devices as well.

• Register using a QR code: To identify your device's serial number through a QR code, tap Scan or Scan QR code, and tap OK. Line up your phone's camera with the device's QR code. Make sure you use the barcode on the device itself, not on the packaging. When the device is found, follow the on-screen instructions to register it.
• Register using Wi-Fi: To search for your device through your connected Wi-Fi network, tap Scan or Scan Wi-Fi, and allow the necessary permissions. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to register your device. Not all devices support Wi-Fi registration.
• Manual input or barcode: To scan a barcode on your device or manually enter its numbers, tap Enter info or Enter info or scan barcode. Select your device type. From here, you can enter the necessary information. If you'd like to scan a barcode, tap the barcode icon next to your desired option, such as Model name. When you're finished entering or scanning, tap Register.

When registering a product to your Samsung account, you will need to enter some information about your device. Some mobile devices (like phones or LTE tablets) require you to enter an IMEI number, while appliances and other devices require a serial number and model number. However, keep in mind that if you can sign into your Samsung account on the device, that will automatically register it to your Samsung account.

If you're not able to sign into your Samsung account on the device, your best bet is to log in to your Samsung account on our website, and go to the Registration page.

Wondering what your warranty covers? After your device has been registered, you can go online and view the product’s warranty information.

3. Select REVIEW WARRANTY next to your desired device, and follow the on-screen instructions to find your warranty.
   
4. When viewing your warranty information, you may be asked to provide proof of purchase if you haven’t already.
5. If you are unable to provide this information, you will need to look up the general warranty information for your device. To do this, navigate to the Warranty page on the Samsung website, and use the different categories to find your specific device and its warranty information.

You can easily set up service for your registered devices using your Samsung account.

1. Using a web browser, log in to your Samsung account on the Samsung website.

There are a few reasons why you may not be able to register a device to your Samsung account. For example, you won't be able to register a phone if it's unlocked, rooted, pre-production, a non-US model, or purchased from a retailer not intended for the US.

Below are some other reasons and some troubleshooting tips for when a device won't register.

• I reset the TV but it still shows as registered: When the TV is reset, it won't be removed as a registered device. If you need to edit or update your account info or view your registered products, you can access your account online.
• Password issues: If you can’t register a device because you can’t remember your Samsung account’s password, you can easily reset it. Just navigate to the Sign In page, select Find ID, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
  
• Devices don’t show in my account online: If a device you previously registered is not appearing in your account, this means it wasn't saved or it has been removed. To view your devices and check if your desired one is registered, navigate to My page, then select My Products, and scroll down to view the list. Sometimes it may take a while after registration for a device to appear in the list.
• IMEI not is accepted: If the website does not take your device’s IMEI number, it means the IMEI number is not valid or belongs to an international device. It’s also possible that the device is already registered to a different account. If you are using a VPN that may have an IP address outside of the US, disconnect from it.
• Samsung Members app is not working: If the Members app does not work properly or does not let you register a device, close the app and reopen it. If it’s still having problems, try updating the app. If that doesn’t work, uninstall, and then reinstall Samsung Members on your phone, and then try again. Finally, if you are still having trouble, contact Samsung Support for assistance.
• Barcode scanner doesn’t work in Samsung Members app: If the Members app is not letting you scan a barcode when registering a product, close and reopen the app. If it still doesn't work, try entering the code manually.
• Cannot register international device in Samsung Members: If you are trying to access Samsung Members from outside the US, or access the phone with a Samsung account from outside the US, you will not be able to register your device.
