Statewide Vendor Payment Registration
Vendor, grantees and other partners receiving payments from the WDFW must be registered in the Statewide Vendor Payment System prior to submitting a request for payment. The Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) maintains the Statewide Vendor Payment System. To obtain registration materials contact the Statewide Payee Desk at 360-407-8180 or visit OFM's Statewide Vendor/Payee Services page. For initial registration please use the Vendor/Payee Registration Form (PDF). Payees with an existing account may revise their current payment information by using the Vendor/Payee Change Form (PDF). Payees are encouraged to use direct deposit for receiving payments by using the Direct Deposit Authorization Form (PDF). Please keep in mind that these forms need to be submitted directly to the OFM, and not to WDFW.
