Michigan Secretary of State

It seems like a distant memory now, with all that we've gone through with both the pandemic, last year's election, and any number of other crises, but you will need to upgrade to a Michigan Real ID by May 3rd, 2023, if you want to board an airplane. Yes, even for a domestic flights.

If you already have it in preparation for the original 2021 deadline, great! Otherwise, don't stress. You have plenty of time...about two years, actually.

Maybe you've already realized this, but the latest news from the Michigan Secretary of State's office just brought it home even more so, that the dreaded trip to the Secretary of State's office is almost a thing of the past.

The Michigan Secretary of State's office has cut a deal to where select Meijer stores will have license plate tab and registration renewal self-service stations. Those self service stations should start appearing in a matter of weeks.

Even though, most people can transact most of their business with the Michigan Secretary of State's office via the computer now, still there are things that are best done live, and some people are just more comfortable doing it that way, anyhow. But not this Monday. Michigan Secretary of State's offices will be closed, in honor of Veteran's Day, November 11th.

The Michigan Secretary of State's office currently on Capital Ave SW is moving to the Mingles Creek Plaza. The project should take about a week, so it will be closed from March 25-29.
