Can I pay my 1099 contractors without them providing ID documents like a Passport or Driver's License?

Yes, Daren. Let me share some information about this matter. 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) offers a convenient solution for paying your contractors without requiring them to provide ID documents. As long as their setup is complete, you can easily make payments with ease and timely without any hassle.

If you're paying your contractors through papercheck, follow the steps below:

1. Go to Payroll and select Contractors.
2. Click Write check next to the contractor's name.
3. Select the bank account from which the check will be withdrawn.
4. Complete the check fields you need.
5. Choose the Print check option if you want to open the check queue to print now. Or select the Print later checkbox if you want to print the check later.
6. Select Save and Close.

However, if you want to pay your contractor through direct deposit, you'll need to ensure that you have the following bank account information:

• Account Number
• Account Type
• Routing Number
• The account holder's Phone Number
• Account holder Full Name

For more details, you can check out this article: Set up and manage direct deposit for your contractors.

In addition, here's an article that'll help you understand which contractors require 1099s: Create 1099 reports in QuickBooks.
