Attention MyFloridaMarketPlace Vendors: A frequently asked vendor question is: What is my vendor number or registration number? Your vendor number is simply your Federal Tax ID#; this is the number you used to register as a vendor with MyFloridaMarketPlace. 1. Your vendor number /registration number begins with an F, S or N: If you registered with a federal tax ID, also known as a federal employer identification number (FEIN), your vendor number will begin with an "F;" If you registered with your Social Security Number (SSN), your vendor number will begin with an "S;" or If you registered as a foreign vendor, your vendor number begins with an "N." 2. The F, S or N is followed by a nine-digit number. 3. The nine-digit number is then followed by an automatically generated three-digit State issued sequence number. The three-digit sequence number is listed on your MFMP Registration Summary beneath the Locations area. If the number is 1, it will read 001. Locations: Location Name Location Status: Active Sequence/PIN ; Sequence Number: 1 There is a three-digit generated number to represent each of a vendor's locations. For example, if you registered using your SSN, your vendor number / registration number is: S123456789-001. The same is true if you registered using a FEIN or as a foreign vendor, except your vendor number will begin with an F: F098765432-001 or an N: N234567890-001. It is recommended that vendors use a FEIN instead of a SSN. Using an FEIN will minimize the risks to personal financial information associated with the use of Social Security numbers. If you do not have a FEIN number, please take a few minutes and obtain one through the IRS: IRS.gov. There is no cost to get a FEIN. If you have any questions, please contact the Customer Service Desk at 1-866-352-3776 or at vendorhelp@myfloridamarketplace.com
