UK apparently now has to ensure their customers are of age. SpiritusVapes have chosen to do this by requesting that people scan a copy of their birth certificate, passport or driver’s license.
Interestingly he says that that is the way sites selling alcohol has to do it. However, I did a google on whisky in the UK, and ordered a nice Japanese single malt whisky to see if that was the case, but at no point did I even see an age verification pop-up…
EDIT: Ok, he’s now saying that it’s an automated system, that will only ask for more documentation if it is needed… But I don’t know how the automated system verifies my age?!
