The pandemic changed some things for good, and one of them may be never having to return to the old “take a number and wait” system at Michigan Secretary of State branch offices.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson recently announced that appointments are being added to the system to serve more customers, greeters at branch offices will help with scheduling, and a priority service will be added for those who need disability placards.
As a result of changes made during the pandemic, many services can be completed online or at a self-service station located inside Secretary of State branch offices or participating Meijer stores. The nearest self-service stations in St. Clair County are at the Marysville Meijer store and the Port Huron Secretary of State Office in Ft. Gratiot.
Those who need to schedule an appointment at a branch office should check the Secretary of State’s website just after 8 AM and Noon each weekday when next-day appointments are released.
On Monday, the department released 350,000 new appointments, so there are currently options for booking future appointments as early as the end of June. Appointment options are available for the next six months, but they tend to fill up quickly.
