Secretary of State Ruth Johnson reminds residents that all offices and the Office of the Great Seal will be closed in observance of Memorial Day on Monday, May 29.  Secretary of State SUPER!Centers normally offer Saturday hours but will be closed on Saturday, May 27.

Customers can hop online at ExpressSOS.com, which allows customers to renew their tabs and driver’s licenses, get a duplicate registration, duplicate title, change their address and register to be an organ donor. And with its Print ’N Go feature, customers can renew their driver’s licenses and tabs for their vehicles, motorcycles or boats, print their receipt and drive legally until they get their card or sticker in the mail. On their eighth year, customers do need to visit a branch to get a new driver’s license so they can pass a vision test and get an updated photo.

The Secretary of State’s office mails notices to motorists 45 days before their driver’s license or license plates expire to give them ample time to renew. Licenses and plates that expire on a day when state offices are closed, such as a holiday or weekend, can be renewed the following day without penalty.

License plate tabs can also be renewed at self-service stations, many of which are available around the clock. Visit the Branch Office Locator at michigan.gov/SOS to find a local self-service station.

With the exception of holidays, offices are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Smaller offices may close for the lunch hour. 

Most offices are open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, with those in city centers open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PLUS offices and SUPER!Centers are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays.

SUPER!Centers also provide Saturday hours from 9 a.m. to noon.

People can make an appointment or hold their spot in line at Secretary of State MI-TIME Line participating offices by using their phone or the web.
