Las Vegas cannabis delivery services must follow Nevada law requiring rigorous age and identity verification. Customers ordering recreational cannabis must be 21 or older. This process combines online/document upload steps with physical scans at delivery to ensure compliance, customer safety, and traceability.

Pre-Order: Digital Verification

Most delivery services require customers to upload a clear, government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, passport) when placing orders online or via app. This step matches the customer’s name, date of birth, and photo, ensuring they meet the 21+ age limit. Temporary or paper IDs without photos are not accepted — only valid, government-issued IDs qualify.

Order Confirmation: Doc & Age Check

Before confirming and processing the delivery, the service checks that the ID meets Nevada’s strict age-verification regulations. This includes verifying authenticity and reading barcodes for tampering — a requirement under NCCR 7.015, which mandates using board-approved scanners to verify IDs before each transaction.

Driver Protocol: On-Site Verification

At delivery, the licensed cannabis establishment agent must again verify the customer’s age and identity on-site. Using a state-approved ID scanner, they authenticate the document, read barcodes, capture an image, and confirm age—all in line with NCCR 7.010 and 7.015. Visual inspection alone is insufficient; scanners equipped with UV, IR, barcode, and magstripe reading are required.

Integration with METRC & Record-Keeping

Scanned data is integrated into Nevada’s METRC “seed-to-sale” system. This ensures accurate tracking of products, delivery personnel, and timestamps. The delivery manifest must document customer name, license number, and agent registration — reinforcing compliance and chain-of-custody.

Privacy & Data Retention

Nevada law does not prohibit storing scanned ID data, though privacy guidelines allow customers to request deletion. Some dispensaries purge scanned images after 60 days to protect customer privacy.

Why It Matters

These measures protect against underage or fraudulent cannabis purchases, bolster accountability across delivery operations, and uphold legal standards. As a result, customers in Las Vegas benefit from a system that is streamlined, transparent, and secure.

What Customers Should Know

• Keep a valid, government-issued photo ID ready — no temporary IDs accepted.
• Expect two checks: once online, again at delivery.
• Scanners are mandatory — not just visual inspection.
• Data is tracked but respects privacy standards — ask about retention policies.
• These steps ensure compliance and safe, legal delivery.

These procedures may seem meticulous, but they ensure that Las Vegas remains a premier, legally compliant destination for cannabis delivery — protecting both customers and the community.
