AppleCare + after purchase?

I’ve just purchased some AirPods Pro from a third party. Is it still possible to purchase AppleCare+ after the fact? Can you purchase online as you would do another Apple product?
 
If the third party is an individual and it has been more than 60 days since he or she first purchased the AirPods Pro, you won’t be able to purchase AC+.

Apologies - from a retailer.

If its a retailer, it is a roll of the dice. I haven’t heard too many stories about not being able to register. Call Apple and go through the purchase process for AC+. You can also purchase through your iPhone, provided you have paired them with your iCloud account.

Yes, I just did this. I got Airpods for my birthday (mid July). And just went to the Applecare website, where you check the coverage. I entered the serial number and it gave me an option to purchase Applecare +.

Actually it might not pertain to the OP but anybody in the boat recently and idk if it’s retroactive but you now have a full year to get Apple Care plus. Idk if that counts with headphones but they just announced that

I bought them last week and when I put the serial number in to purchase AppleCare I got this message.

We’re sorry.
This serial number is no longer eligible for an AppleCare product

I’d chat with Argus then. Dunno what they’re like now, but I seem to remember them being easy to deal with 20 odd years ago before I left the shores and became another “bloody American”.

I’d also reach out to Apple to see if you can get a manufacturing date.
