Hi everyone,

I have just created a simple website that will tell you if your switch is patched or not by checking its serial number, you can find it at ismyswitchpatched dot com (as a new member I cannot use hyperlinks)
It works by inserting the first 10 characters of the serial number, it is not necessary to insert the full serial.

The hosting cost is close to 0 for me, so I am planning to keep it up and running running as long as there are people using it Online tool to check Switch serial numbers (2)

In case this is considered spam, I apologize and ask moderators to delete this thread.

doesn't hurt to have multiple options for checking serials.

I entered my serial and when i did it said safe that means my console is unpatched right?

should mean that, some are hit and miss even with methods of checking by cross referencing with already logged serials like this. Rule of thumb, the lower the serial number then better.

Yes both the websites should work similarly, ssnc seems pretty cool, I wanted to add barcode scanner as well, but I couldn't get accurate results (I was trying to use QuaggaJS) Online tool to check Switch serial numbers (36)

It is simply because the link here uses http, but https is supported as well and you shouldn't get that warning Online tool to check Switch serial numbers (37)

Hmm it appears the http is an outdated version, the https has the bar at the top added. You might want to take down the http because of like security concerns, but either way thanks for the site.

I stumbled on a Xaj70041353
I tried it on your site and the other checker.
Both brought up warnings.
I bought it anyway as price was good.
It was unpatched so it was probably just on the cusp. Wasnt sure if it was helpful info so thought id share but i imagine its hit or miss. Your site is great. .Thanks for making things so easy.
