Notice to DC-40 Vendors
The Electronic Voucher Payment System (EVPS) now allows all vendors who submit a DC-40 to create an account and submit vouchers electronically for payment.
Getting Started
Step 1: Are you an OES Vendor?
If you currently submit paper DC-40 forms, you are already an OES vendor.
If you have not previously submitted a DC-40, you must first submit a Substitute W-9 to the OES Accounts Payable Department (804-786-6455, fiscalap@vacourts.gov)
Step 2: Obtain an OES Identification Number (OES ID#)
A OES ID # is needed to access the system for the first time.
Contact the Clerk’s Office to obtain your OES Identification Number (OES ID#).
Please note: The OES ID# will expire after 48 hours.
Step 3: Create your EVPS Account by visiting the EVPS login page
Complete the fields under the "Create a New Account Section."
