Age Verification Policy

Last Updated: April 22, 2026

At Vape Station, we take our responsibility to prevent the sale of nicotine and vaping products to minors extremely seriously. This policy outlines how we verify the age of our customers in compliance with UK law.

1. Legal Requirement

The sale of nicotine-containing products, including e-cigarettes and e-liquids, to anyone under the age of 18 is prohibited under the Nicotine Inhaling Products (Age of Sale and Proxy Purchasing) Regulations 2015 and the Children and Families Act 2014. It is also an offence for an adult to purchase nicotine products on behalf of a person under 18 (proxy purchasing).

2. Our Commitment

Vape Station operates a strict Challenge 25 policy. This means that if a customer appears to be under the age of 25, we will require proof that they are 18 or over before completing any purchase.

3. How We Verify Age

  • Date of Birth Declaration: All customers are required to confirm their date of birth before completing a purchase.
  • Third-Party Age Verification: We use accredited third-party age verification services to electronically confirm that customers are aged 18 or over. This may involve checking your details against trusted data sources.
  • Manual Verification: In some cases, we may contact you directly to request a copy of a valid form of ID, such as a passport or driving licence, before your order is dispatched.

4. Acceptable Forms of ID

Where manual verification is required, we accept the following:

  • UK or international passport
  • UK photocard driving licence
  • PASS-accredited proof of age card
  • National identity card

5. Failed Verification

If we are unable to verify your age, or if we have reason to believe that a purchase is being made on behalf of a minor, we reserve the right to:

  • Cancel and refund your order in full.
  • Refuse future orders from the same account or address.
  • Report suspected proxy purchasing to the relevant authorities.

6. Delivery Age Verification

Our courier partners are instructed to carry out age checks upon delivery where required. Any order that cannot be verified at the door will be returned to us, and a full refund will be issued minus any non-recoverable shipping costs.

7. Data Protection

Any personal data collected during the age verification process is handled in accordance with our [Privacy Policy] and UK GDPR. Age verification data is retained only for as long as required by law.
