Why do I need to submit ID when ordering?

As mead is an alcoholic product, we must ensure it is only sold to adults. To verify this, we require you to submit a photo ID along with a headshot before we can ship your order. We will check that the headshot matches your ID, after which your order will be processed and dispatched. Future orders from the same account will not require ID to be resubmitted.

How do I submit ID?

After placing your order, you will receive a confirmation email and a separate email requesting ID submission. This email will be sent via RealID, a secure service we use to capture and verify your identification.
