Micro Center now requires ID and no-export form to buy RTX 5090 GPUs

A customer buying an RTX 5090-equipped PowerSpec workstation at a Micro Center in Tustin, California, was required to sign an 'Advanced Computing Product Purchaser Declaration' before the purchase was approved. The form demands full legal name, address, government ID, phone, email, end-user details, installation location, and intended use, and states Micro Center will not sell to anyone intending to export the product outside the US. Other Reddit users noted this requirement is new, though one buyer said a similar, longer form was required at Central Computers last summer.

Micro Center requires export-ban declaration to buy RTX 5090 prebuilt PCs

Micro Center has begun requiring buyers of PowerSpec Ai90 prebuilt PCs with RTX 5090 GPUs to sign a form and have their driver's license scanned, pledging the system stays in the US and won't be resold or exported abroad. A customer reported the policy started within the last two days at a store, with the form asking for name, photo ID and phone number alongside the non-export pledge.
