Michigan — The Michigan Secretary of State’s website and online services are getting a major upgrade. Subsequently, self-service stations and web services such as online appointment booking and services provided online will not be available from 5 PM Thursday, March 11th until 9 AM Tuesday March 16th.
The service outage will enable the combining of millions of records into one new, integrated system. This will lead to new services for driver’s license and state ID transactions to be done online or at self-service stations which will eliminate the need for as many in-person visits to Secretary of State offices.
After the upgrade goes into effect at 9 AM on March 16th, drivers will be able to resume using the Secretary of State’s website and self-service stations for all prior transactions along with renewing or replacing an enhanced driver’s license or state ID (if a new photo isn’t required) and add a motorcycle endorsement to their eligible driver’s license.
Self-service stations will also have options to request and print out a temporary driver’s license or State ID and sign up for the State’s organ donor registry.
