Why Do We Ask You To Verify Your Age?
Under **EU and Irish law**, selling electronic cigarettes and nicotine-containing products to individuals **under 18** is illegal. To comply with these regulations and ensure customer safety, we require **age verification** when you create an account or place an order as a guest.
To make this process **fast and secure**, while protecting your privacy, we use the **Agechecked verification service**.
How Do We Verify Your Age?
When you place an order with **Vape-Shop.ie**, you will be required to provide:
- ✔ **Full name**
- ✔ **Billing address**
- ✔ **Date of birth**
This information must match official records such as your **driver’s license, electoral roll, or an Irish credit card**.
We use **Agechecked** for age verification, which is an **ID check only** and does **not** affect your credit score.
In some cases, such as **a recent address change, incorrect data formatting, or use of a nickname**, Agechecked may not be able to verify your age. If this occurs, we may:
- ✔ Reformat the details and run another verification check.
- ✔ Request a valid proof of age, such as an **Irish driver’s license or passport**.
Your Personal Data Is Safe With Vape-Shop.ie
Because we use **Agechecked secure age verification**, your personal data is **never stored or logged**—it is processed only at the time of your first order.
📌 **If you have an account, age verification is a one-time process—future orders will be processed without additional verification.**
