A clear and complete invoice helps to ensure timely payment. OFS has included tips and information to answer questions that vendors may have about an invoice and the payment process.

Register now! While DGS will continue to accept invoices by mail or email, our vendors are highly encouraged to submit invoices electronically in PDF format to the new Invoice Payment Portal (see next section).

Invoices that are submitted through the Service Portal will have the benefit of tracking their invoices through the portal. Users will receive email notifications when an invoice has successfully been submitted, completed, or comments have been added to the ticket.

Please only submit vendor invoices once as multiple submittals of the same invoice will cause payment delays.

Access the Shared Services Portal in order to register or submit invoices.

Download the Registration Instructions or Invoice Payment Portal Instructions for further assistance.

Email OFSPSASPaymentInquiries@dgs.ca.gov for registration assistance.

Strongly recommended: through the Invoice Payment Portal

Invoicing Guide for Suppliers

California Prompt Payment Act

California Prompt Payment Act Frequently Asked Questions

Submit State Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Invoices

The Payee Data Record form (STD 204) must be completed by suppliers. The purpose of the STD 204 is to obtain payee information for income tax reporting and to ensure tax compliance with federal and state law. The STD 204 is required for any non-governmental entity or individual entering into a transaction that may lead to a payment from the state. Therefore, a completed, dated, and signed STD 204 with handwritten or electronic signature must be on file with the state before contracts are executed and payments are disbursed.

A new STD 204 is required when requesting a change of address, business name, FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number), classification, or DBA ("Doing Business As" name).

The Payee Data Record Supplement (STD 205) is optional. It is used to provide remittance address information if different than the mailing address on the STD 204.

Access the Fi$Cal Centralized Vendor Management for more information.
