What is considered to be an acceptable proof of purchase?
SHOP PURCHASES: For in-store purchases Canon requires a copy of your receipt showing payment and the necessary product name information. The receipt must include the product purchased, the price you paid, the name of the retailer and the date of purchase.
WEBSITE PURCHASES: For online purchases Canon requires a copy of your order confirmation and the necessary product serial number information. The order confirmation must include the product purchased, the price you paid, the name of the retailer and the date of purchase. What formats can be used for uploading documents as part of the registration process and are there any size restrictions?
Please note your file should not be larger than 4 MB. You can upload the common standard JPG, TIF and PDF formats only. A photograph taken of the receipt or on-line order confirmation with a smartphone is acceptable if all claim information is clearly visible.
Where can I locate my product’s serial number?
The exact positioning of Canon serial numbers can differ from product to product. Please consult the following useful link to determine the general positioning of Canons serial codes for your specific product. In general Canon serial numbers will be listed both on the product itself and also on the accompanying product box.
Please DO NOT confuse the serial number with the EAN/Barcode shown here:

Sometimes other countries run different Canon promotions as they may be better suited to their own local customers or markets.
