How would you like to verify your age?

You can use the separate DCM5 document reader or one of the methods shown on the SENVEND payment terminal. Follow the instructions on the relevant display.

ID at the DCM5

Use a suitable original document, such as an identity card or driving licence. Pass it through the DCM5 reader exactly as shown in the video on the SENVEND display, then wait for confirmation.

Keep the document straight and never force it through the reader.

Use a Girocard; the terminal shows the options it supports.

Keep your face clearly visible and wait for confirmation.

Complete every step on your smartphone before returning to the terminal.
