Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will serve customers at three senior centers in Milford, Northville and Novi on June 2, 3 and 4.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, at the Milford Senior Center, 1050 Atlantic St., 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, at the Novi Senior Center, 25075 Meadowbrook Road, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, June 4, at the Northville Community Senior Center, 303 W. Main St.

"The Mobile Branch Office offers visitors a convenient option to conduct their Department of State business," Land said. "I encourage area seniors and other area residents to take advantage of this opportunity."

The facility is a full-service Secretary of State 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 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.

People who have had their name changed also will have to present a document linking their birth name to their current legal name.

Customers of the mobile office 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 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.
