Guide for U.S. Individuals
Definition
You have identified as a U.S. individual because you have United States citizenship, as demonstrated by your tax documentation, and you are being paid as an individual. This guide provides clear information on how to complete the supplier registration process for U.S. Individuals, as well as how to modify your information when needed.
How does the process work?
To become an USA supplier, please request a supplier invitation from the department to whom you will be providing goods or services. You will receive an email notification inviting you to register as a new vendor payee.
Once you receive the USA invitation, you will first create a PaymentWorks account and then complete the registration. USA will then verify the information you submitted. If at any point you have questions, please contact us at vendor_onboarding@southalabama.edu. We will be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
Follow the instructions below to create your PaymentWorks account. If you already have a PaymentWorks account, skip to step 3 to complete the USA Registration form.

PaymentWorks allows only one account per email address. If you have a large umbrella company, different accounts need to be created for each company under that umbrella. | |
Invoices | Submit invoices to your 老司机福利网 customer, not through PaymentWorks. |
Payment | If you are receiving an honorarium, register as yourself, not your company. Payment is not disbursed through PaymentWorks. It is a tool to collect vendor information, and update as needed. |
Tax | Ensure that your EIN is valid with the IRS and matches the legal name entered in PW.
It will automatically be returned to you if it is not. A signed W-9 is preferred over the PaymentWorks-generated W-9. Please remove the checkbox allowing them to create one. |
Updates | Contact supplier onboarding if updating TIN, Legal Name in PaymentWorks. We need to verify this information. |
