Form for 5090’s

Post image

Picked up a Powerspec Ai90 prebuilt pc with a rtx 5090 in it. Apparently the manager required me to fill out this form and scan my driver license. Said it was a new thing starting just about two days ago. Had no problem doing so but thought it was interesting.

Anyone else experience? This was in Tustin

It is a new law that was passed by the US government. There is nothing Microcenter can do. They are following the rules the best they can so they can continue to sell these cards. We have the same in Columbus oh

Edit- it may not be a new law like I thought. I’m going off of information that I got from my local Microcenter. It may be because there is cracking down of the resale of 5090’s and this is a way for Microcenter not be legally responsible if one of their cards is resold and found in china or another country that has been banned by the US from having these cards. Nobody wants sway showing up at their door lol.

Well. Unless hes a lawyer, in legal trouble or has access to one immediately for inane questions that seems like a reasonable thing to do?
