Create a PASSPort Account

A PASSPort account lets you easily find opportunities and do business with the City of New York.

Before we begin

You will need an email address.

The person creating a PASSPort account for their organization automatically becomes a Vendor Admin.

If you have already registered a NYC.ID, go to the next step.

Do not confuse NYC.ID with IDNYC.
