No not by itself.

If you purchased your Mac from Apple, you can request a receipt from the retail location. We also recommend checking your email for a copy of the receipt. Here’s how to locate the Apple Store and their contact information: Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple https://www.apple.com/retail/


If your purchase was made at the Apple Online Store, please view the section titled “View or Print Invoice” here: Viewing & Changing Orders - Shopping Help - Apple https://www.apple.com/shop/help/viewing_changing_orders


If your mac was purchased from an Apple Authorized Reseller, we recommend contacting them directly for a receipt.
