Why JNR Vape requires 21+ ID verification.
Federal law (Tobacco 21 / Reauthorization Act) requires all retailers selling vapor products to verify buyers are 21 or older. This applies at the federal level regardless of state law. vapejnr.com performs age verification at two checkpoints: (1) at checkout through a federally compliant third-party service, and (2) at delivery via adult-signature requirement, where the carrier driver checks government-issued ID at the door before releasing the package.
US government-issued photo ID with date of birth.
Accepted IDs: US state driver's license, state ID card, US passport, US military ID. Any government-issued photo ID with a clear date of birth qualifies. The verification service performs an OCR + database cross-check — you upload an image, the service confirms or rejects within seconds. Not accepted: expired IDs, foreign passports without US visa documentation (we don't ship internationally anyway), library cards, school IDs, work badges, or any non-government ID.
At checkout — upload, verify, never stored on our servers.
At checkout you upload an image of your ID directly to the federally compliant third-party verifier (e.g., Veratad or equivalent). The verifier performs an OCR scan of the date of birth, cross-references with the state DMV database for authenticity, and returns a yes/no result within a few seconds. We never receive or store the ID image. The verifier retains the result for up to 30 days for audit, then deletes. On our side, we store only a yes/no verified flag and timestamp linked to your account — the image itself never touches our servers.
If verification fails: the verifier returns a specific failure reason (blurry image, address mismatch, expired ID, etc.). Re-upload a clearer image or use a different valid ID. Repeated failures may trigger a manual review — email service@vapejnr.com with a clear photo to escalate.
Zero-tolerance — no shipping to under-21.
We will not knowingly ship to anyone under 21. There are no exceptions, no appeals, and no reinstatement. If we discover that an account is under 21 (false verification, attempted fraud, account-takeover signals), we cancel the order, refund in full, and disable the account permanently. This is federal law (Tobacco 21 / Reauthorization Act), not company policy preference. The same zero-tolerance applies at delivery: if the carrier driver cannot confirm 21+ ID at the door, the package returns to depot rather than being released.
Federal law. Two checkpoints. No exceptions.
The Tobacco 21 federal law (signed into US law in December 2019) raised the minimum age for sale of all tobacco and vapor products to 21 nationwide. The PACT Act (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act) further requires adult-signature delivery on every vapor product shipment. vapejnr.com enforces both at every order — checkout verification + door signature. No exceptions for birthdays, no exceptions for "I forgot my ID at home," no exceptions for any reason.
