Find your Service Tag

Entering the service tag of your Dell computer or peripheral helps Dell deliver solutions tailored to the products you own. Your Service Tag is a unique five- to seven- digit alphanumeric (letter and number) code, which is found on a white bar-coded label affixed to your Dell computer or peripheral.

The table below provides quick reference information for locating your Service Tag. For more explicit information, click here.

Express Service Code

An Express Service Code is simply a mathematical conversion of your System Service Tag into a purely numeric format allowing for easy entry into Dell's automated call-routing system. Enter this number, using a touch-tone telephone, into the automated call-routing system when contacting Dell for assistance.

Benefits of the Express Service Code

The Express Service Code routes calls to the appropriate service queue, thereby offering the following advantages:

It helps avoid numerous transfers of your call.
It reduces the possibility for misdiagnosis because calls are transferred directly to the correctly trained specialist.
It reduces menu selections, which keeps you from choosing from complicated telephone menus, shortening your overall wait time.
The Express Service Code is converted back to a System Service Tag and automatically places your system configuration into the technician's support applications once you are connected.
