Age verification

18+? Here is how to get approved.

Your age is verified before you can buy vapes, tobacco products or alcoholic drinks. The process uses the SENVEND terminal and the connected DCM5 ID reader.

Step by step

Simply follow the instructions on the terminal.

  1. 01

    Choose an 18+ product

    Select the age-restricted product you want at the vending machine.

  2. 02

    Start verification

    The SENVEND terminal will tell you that age verification is required before payment.

  3. 03

    Scan your ID

    Insert a suitable identity card or driving licence into the DCM5 reader as shown on the display.

  4. 04

    Pay & collect

    Once approved, pay contactlessly and collect your product.

If it does not work

Verification failed?

Check the document

Use an undamaged original document and insert it straight, completely and in the direction shown by the arrow.

Try again

Restart verification and follow the instructions on the SENVEND display. The terminal shows which methods are available.

Report a problem

If approval still fails, tell us the machine, date and time so that we can investigate.
