SEPTEMBER 19, 2007

Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be in Grand Rapids to serve local customers.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3. The mobile office will be near the Family Fare supermarket at 1226 Madison Ave. SE, near Hall Street.

"The Mobile Branch Office offers people a convenient option to conduct their Department of State business," Land said. "I hope residents take advantage of this opportunity."

The visit allows people to register to vote so they can cast ballots in the Nov. 6 election. The cutoff date to register is Oct. 9 for the November election.

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 10 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.
