NOVEMBER 15, 2006

Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be in Eaton County to serve customers in Vermontville on Nov. 29 - 30.

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.

It will be at the Fire Barn, 125 W. First St. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29, and 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30.

"The Mobile Branch Office offers Vermontville residents a convenient opportunity to conduct their Department of State business without having to travel outside their community," Land said. "This is an opportunity that I hope residents take advantage of."

The Mobile Branch Office has logged more than 100,000 miles since it first hit the road nearly nine years ago.

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.
