Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be in Van Buren County to serve Bloomingdale Township-area customers on Nov. 5 and 6.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6. The office will be near Township Hall, 109 E. Kalamazoo St.

"The mobile office offers Bloomingdale Township and nearby residents a convenient option to conduct their Secretary of State business," Land said. "I hope residents take advantage of this opportunity."

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.
