AUGUST 5, 2009
Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that
the Mobile Branch Office will serve customers at the Westside Health Center in
Grand Rapids on Aug. 12.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12. The health center is at 669
Stocking Ave. N.W. The mobile office visit is part of the Cherry Street
Children's Block Party sponsored by the Cherry Street Health Center. The event
features food and fun for families, as well as information of interest to
parents, such as health insurance options for children.
"The Mobile Branch Office offers Grand Rapids residents a convenient option
to conduct their Department of State business," Land said. "I hope residents
take advantage of this opportunity."
The facility is a full-service Secretary of State office and is accessible to
people with disabilities. It is hauled statewide on a 24-foot trailer that has
logged more than 125,000 miles since it first hit the road in 1997.
At the mobile office, customers have the opportunity to apply for Michigan's
enhanced driver's license. The enhanced license is a convenient option that
allows people to return to the United States from Canada, Mexico or the
Caribbean by land or sea crossings.
Michigan residents who already have a driver's license and are U.S. citizens
can apply by presenting an original or certified birth certificate, and proof of
a Social Security number. People who have had their name changed also will have
to present a document linking their birth name to their current legal name.
Customers of the mobile office have the ability to pay with a MasterCard or
Discover card as well as buy instant titles or a copy of their driving record.
Land encourages all customers who have Internet access to check out the
department's online services
at www.Michigan.gov/sos before visiting any branch office.
For example, license tabs and watercraft registrations can be renewed online.
Browsing the site will help customers determine requirements before they go to
an office.
