The Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) is a national portal, managed by India’s Department of Telecommunications and is designed to help block, track, and manage lost or stolen mobile devices using their unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers.

IMEI numbers are written on the mobile packaging box or can be found on the mobile bill/invoice. You can also check your device’s IMEI number by dialling *#06#.

Citizens are advised to avoid buying a device if the IMEI number is shown as black-listed, duplicate or already in use.

You can verify your IMEI number through the government’s web portal or send an SMS to 14422 with the message “KYM <15-digit IMEI number>”.
