Vendor Registration template

A vendor registration form that collects what accounts payable actually needs before the first invoice: legal name, primary contact, service category, registered address, tax registration number, and a required W-9 or tax certificate upload. New suppliers onboard themselves instead of trading PDFs over email.

When to use this template

An AP team tired of chasing W-9s in December for vendors paid in March
A company standing up a vendor-verification step — the ending screen's five-business-day review window sets expectations honestly
An events business registering dozens of one-off suppliers — caterers, AV crews, rental companies — each needing tax docs on file
A procurement lead sending one link to every 'we'd love to work with you' inquiry instead of a back-and-forth

Tips to get more from it

The tax-document upload is required and takes up to two documents — a W-9 plus a certificate of insurance fits. Collecting it at registration is the entire reason this form exists; don't make it optional.
The address field is a structured address input, not free text, so exports arrive with street, city, and postal code in separate columns — exactly what your accounting system's vendor import wants.
The registration-number description says 'as it appears on your invoices' — that phrasing prevents the mismatches that stall payment runs later.
The capabilities-and-lead-times question is optional but worth keeping: it turns your vendor list into a searchable directory when someone asks 'do we know anyone who does signage?'

Questions people ask

What documents should a vendor registration form collect?

At minimum, a W-9 (or local tax certificate) and the business registration number, plus banking details if you pay by transfer. This template collects the tax documents up front; many teams collect banking info through a separate, tighter channel.

Are uploaded tax documents secure?

Files attach to the response and are visible only to the form owner — vendors can't see each other's submissions, and nothing is public.

Can vendors update their details later?

Have them submit the form again and treat the newest response as current — each submission is timestamped. For a single change like a new contact, editing your own records is usually faster.
