Associate your OHID Account to a Business

An "Existing Business" is an entity that is already registered with the State of Ohio's OhioPays system and has an existing Payee Administrator. When you associate your account to an existing business, you are requesting to be added as a OhioPays Portal User for that business. 

Existing Business Look Up is only available on new OH|ID accounts. If you need to add an existing business to an OH|ID account that already has a business associated with it, the current OhioPays Portal administrator can add you as a user to that business or you can submit the form to request to become an administrator for the business.

Upon completing this process, an email will be sent to the Administrator for the selected business. This Administrator will need to approve your access for you to access the business in the OhioPays Portal.
