Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be in Lenawee County to serve Morenci-area customers on May 13 and 14.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 13, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, May 14. The office will be next to the Morenci Police Department, 118 Orchard St.

"The Mobile Branch Office offers Morenci and nearby 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 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.
