Check if a device is stolenbefore you buy it.
TheftTag verifies phones, tablets, and laptops against global theft databases. Resellers, refurbishers, and law enforcement use our API to avoid stolen inventory and help recover lost devices.
One bad purchase can cost you thousands. We help you know before you pay.
What we offer
Everything you need to verify devices and protect your business from stolen inventory.
Device Verification
Know exactly what you're buying. Get make, model, carrier, warranty, and lock status in one lookup, so you never overpay for a device that's not what it seems.
We check:
Theft Detection
Stop stolen devices at the door. We cross-reference carrier blacklists, iCloud status, and theft reports so you can walk away from bad deals before money changes hands.
Sample result:
_Theft Registry
When someone reports a stolen device, it goes into our registry. Law enforcement and authorized partners can search it, helping victims get their devices back.
Registry activity:
Buying or reselling devices without checking is risky. One stolen phone can mean lost money, legal headaches, and damaged trust with customers.
TheftTag gives you a clear answer in seconds, before the deal closes.
