During the checkout process on the Zig-Zag official website, visitors are requested to submit their name, date of birth, address, and the last four digits of their social security number. This information is validated by a third party (Agechecker.net) and cross-referenced with publically accessible data to ensure the individual is of legal smoking age in their state. If a user’s public records do not match, or if they do not want to disclose their social security number, they must upload a valid government-issued photo ID for inspection by a member of the Agechecker.net compliance team. Manual government identity checks often take less than one minute.
