JULY 14, 2009
Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land reminds customers that
all branch offices and the Office of the Great Seal will be closed on Friday,
July 24 and SUPER!Centers will close on Saturday, July 25 due to a mandatory
state employee furlough day.
The Department of State mails notices to motorists 45 days before their
driver's license or license plates expire to give them ample time to renew.
Licenses and plates that expire on a day when state offices are closed, such as
a holiday or weekend, can be renewed the following day without penalty. To
expedite their visit, customers are encouraged to renew in advance as the
branches will be busier before and after the scheduled closing.
Motorists renewing license plates can "skip the trip" to the branch office
and do business by mail, or if eligible, by Internet or touch-tone telephone.
Easy to follow instructions can be found with the renewal notice. License plate
tabs will arrive by mail within seven business days.
License plate tabs can also be renewed at Self-Service Stations, many of
which are available 24/7. Visit the Branch Office Locator at
www.Michigan.gov/sos to find a Self-Service Station near you.
With the exception of holidays, branch offices are open Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Smaller branch offices may close for the
lunch hour. On Wednesday most offices are open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with those in
city centers open 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. PLUS offices and SUPER!Centers are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on
Wednesday. SUPER!Centers also provide Saturday hours from 9 a.m. to noon.
