EOS Rebel T6 How to find my camera's missing serial number

kmarcum — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 18:34:59 GMT

Hello! Is there anyone that could help me locate a serial number for my camera. I have had it since 2017 and the serial number has rubbed off. I do not have the original box anymore and the camera image information is missing the serial number. The camera was also a gift for my wedding so I dont have the original invoice.

I am at a loss, I would love to use DPP to view my photos but I cant access it because I cant find my serial number.

Pls give direction if you have any advice. I have just now begun to use my camera more and would benefit from some help! thank you!.

kmarcum, did you attempt to download DPP4 from this page. Scroll down to the second group of images and you'll find it there for download.

https://app.ssw.imaging-saas.canon/app/en/lineup.html

If you get the software downloaded and installed open a folder with images and right click on one of the images, select info at the bottom. A new window will open and if you scroll down you will see camera body number which should be your serial number.

If all else fails and you are ok with it you can send me an original image from that body and I can grab the number.

If you get the awesome EXIFtool, you can read the serial number in the exif data.

Or you can look at the remaining part of the warranty card.

I sent a private message to you or DM. Check the upper right hand corner at the top of the page. You'll see a prompt

The tool below is also very helpful.

Hey Rick, I was able to get the serial number and hosted a link in the event the serial # wasn't recognized. OP I believe (hopefully) is installing the software. I'm taking a lack of response from the OP as a good sign on this one....

Marc,

Thanks for sharing this info about finding the serial number on my camera. I didn't know that existed.

I've learned over the years that when I buy an appliance, whether it's a camera or a vacuum cleaner, the first thing I do is write down the serial number and store that in 5 or 6 places😀

Yep, pretty much everything thing is in the file but the shutter count. The other nice thing is you can copy the data. It seems like it will only let you do a line at a time but if you hold shift and use the arrows it works.
