The OMB, Vendor Registry Office works directly with North Dakota state agencies to set up a payee profile (Supplier ID) so an agency can issue and report payments. Vendor Registry does not issue payments. Payment recipients (payees) must work directly with the agency’s program administrators to request a Supplier ID and receive payment.
Payee Recipients Start Here
Step 1: A ND State agency has approved to issue you a payment and confirmed that approval directly with you. If you do not have instructions to apply for a payment profile (Supplier ID), contact the agency issuing the payment for your next step. The issuing agency is who you are conducting business with, and where you learned of the payment you are approved to receive. Vendor Registry cannot help with supplier account or payment questions as we do not issue payments.
Step 2: The issuing agency must obtain an IRS form (W-9 or W-8) and submit the paperwork to the Vendor Registry Office. The procedure for obtaining this paperwork may be through a paper form that is sent to their office and forwarded to Vendor Registry or through the online application found within the ND Payee Portal. A payee recipient must use the procedure created by the agency.
ND Payee Portal
The ND Payee Portal may be used by payment recipients, both businesses and individuals, approved to receive payment. The online application offers a method to collect required IRS W-9 or W-8 forms, address, and payment details. Once a supplier ID account has been created, the portal offers a sign in option for allowed users to keep their payee profile current with address, contact, and banking changes.
