AUGUST 18, 2009
Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be available to serve customers during the Michigan State Fair in Detroit.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day from Friday, Aug. 28, to Thursday, Sept. 3. The office will be at the state fairgrounds, 1120 W. State Fair Ave., on Wolverine Way across from the Administration Building.
The office will close after Sept. 3 because of the state government furlough day on Sept. 4 although the fair will remain open and continue through Monday, Sept. 7. All Secretary of State offices will be closed Sept. 4, 5 and 7.
"I encourage fair-goers to take advantage of this opportunity," Land said. "The Mobile Branch Office offers visitors a convenient option to conduct their Department of State business. The mobile office is a great example of how we're offering service options that fit your schedule."
The facility is a full-service Secretary of State branch 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 also have the opportunity to apply for Michigan's new 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.
Customers of the mobile office also 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 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.
