About FCC IDs
Any device that intentionally emits radio frequency energy — phones, routers, Bluetooth gadgets, remotes — must be certified by the FCC before it can be sold in the United States, and it carries an FCC ID as proof. Because the FCC’s Equipment Authorization database is public, that ID is a window into the device: who made it, when it was certified, internal and external photos, the user manual, and the lab test reports. This tool splits the ID into its grantee and product codes and links straight to the official record. For network hardware, the MAC address lookup identifies the vendor instead.
Frequently asked questions

- The grantee code is the first 3 characters, or 5 characters for newer IDs that begin with “2”. Everything after it is the product code assigned by that company.
