Non-US (Foreign) Vendor Example

​The agency will need to have all foreign (non-USA) vendors submit an appropriate IRS W-8 form (typically a W-8BEN) to them before adding the vendor.

When adding a non-US vendor, select XX – INTERNATIONAL from the State drop-down menu. This will automatically enter XXXXX – XXXX in the Zip-Ext fields.

Some non-US addresses may require you to enter the city, province or territory, and zip code in the City field (accepts up to 29 alphanumeric characters).
