is a bingo, contact our office at (517) 335-5780 and we can answer your

Due to the unprecedented number of license
applications we are receiving, allow at least 6 weeks for the processing of
applications or a change request to a license. To be fair to all applicants,
applications and requests to change a license are processed in the order they
are received. First-time applicants must allow additional time for the
qualification process.
