This file is an instructional document from the State of Ohio that outlines the registration process for vendors and contractors seeking to receive payments through Ohio's payment system. The document provides step-by-step guidance for creating an OH/ID account and registering with Ohio Pays, the state's electronic payment portal. Prospective vendors must first establish an OH/ID account through OHID.ohio.gov, then proceed to register on the Ohio Pays website at https://ohiopays.ohio.gov by clicking through the "Getting Started" and "How to Register" sections. The registration process requires vendors to provide specific information and complete all required fields to enable payment processing.

A critical requirement outlined in the instructions is that all payments from the State of Ohio must be made via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), necessitating that vendors complete the EFT section during registration to ensure direct deposit capability into their designated accounts. Vendors experiencing difficulties with the registration process are directed to contact OBM Shared Services at 1-877-644-6771 and request assistance from the Payee Group, or alternatively submit a help request through the Contact section of the Ohio Pays website. This registration requirement applies to vendors seeking contracts with the State of Ohio, including the Complete Groundwater Monitoring Well Abandonment Closure contract opportunity.
