Yes. You have 60 days.
Call AppleCare. You can do it over the phone or bring it to an Apple store.

Yes, I got AppleCare over the phone. They send you a link to their diagnostic test, which takes about 10-15 secs and you are done. Pretty easy.
The deductanble for AC+ is $79.

It seems that not all the reps do this test before adding AC+ over the phone. I called in yesterday to add AC+ to my new Verizon iPhone 6 and the rep. Asked me for my CC info right away with no testing at all. I checked online today and sure enough I have AC+ till Oct. 2016.
Same. Could be because they're swamped with calls so they don't bother with the diagnostics to speed things up.
Is this in the USA that you have 60 days? I was told by my carrier in Canada that I only had 30 days from purchase date. Was curious if my carrier provided me wrong info, because it would almost certainly be the same in Canada as in US.
I live in Toronto, Canada. I confrimed with a few different employees in 2 different apple stores. That we have 60 days from the date of purchase to add applecare plus to our iphones. I bought mine unlocked from the apple store not sure of the rules are different if you bought from the carrier. Also they might be talking about the warranty that the carrier sells.

Thank you. Yeah I was misinformed by my carrier. Really appreciate the info. I purchased Applecare+ the day I picked my 6 up. Just wanted to clarify the info I was told.
The rep who added it to my 6 didn't forget because I asked her about the test. Lol, she said if I wanted to do it I could do check the diagnostics myself in the setting menu.
Are you in the US? Also, they have to run diagnostics because they cannot sell anyone apple care + if the phone is already broken and if the phone doesn't turn on and they can't run diagnostics, they won't sell it to you. She might have thought since it was a new device, there shouldn't be any damage. Which is silly.
Yes, I live in the US. I called to add AC+ to my Verizon 6 the day after I received it from eBay. I was thinking the same thing as you. That she figured it was new since I just activated it the day before so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. While my 6 is perfectly fine, I can see how someone would call in to get AC+ after they had damaged their new iPhone.
