Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced Friday that all 131 Michigan Secretary of State branch offices will be changing operations to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
During a three-week period starting today, branches will only offer services for critical transactions that must be conducted in-person and only by appointment.
Walk-ins will be asked to make an appointment, for the same day if available. The goal, Benson said, is to eliminate any potential crowding in the agency’s offices.
The types of transactions available in-person at branches during the three-week period will be limited to new driver’s licenses and state IDs; title transfers; and testing for an original commercial driver’s license, chauffer’s license, mechanic’s license, motorcycle license, and recreational vehicle license.
Services will also continue to be available online, by mail and at new self-service stations across the state.
Saturday branch services will be suspended but weekday hours will be expanded as follows: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Wednesdays remain 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
