Add your iPad to Find My
Before you can use the Find My app 
to locate a lost iPad, you need to connect the device to your Apple ID.
When you add your iPad to Find My, you can also get notified if you leave it behind. See Set separation alerts in case you leave a device behind in Find My on iPad.
Add your iPad

On your iPad, go to Settings
> [your name] > Find My.If you’re asked to sign in, enter your Apple ID. If you don’t have one, tap “Don’t have an Apple ID or forgot it?” then follow the instructions.
Tap Find My iPad, then turn on Find My iPad.
You can also turn on or off either of the following:
Find My network: If your device is offline (not connected to Wi-Fi or cellular), Find My can locate it using the Find My network.
Send Last Location: If your device’s battery charge level becomes critically low, its location is sent to Apple automatically.
Your iPad also includes a feature called Activation Lock that prevents anyone else from activating and using your device, even if it’s completely erased. See the Apple Support article Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
