Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be in Eaton County later this month to serve area customers. It will be in Eaton Rapids and Vermontville.

The facility provides all services found at any Secretary of State branch office and is handicapper accessible. It is hauled statewide on a 24-foot trailer.

On Nov. 22 – 23 the mobile office will be at the Eaton Rapids Senior Center, 201 Grand St. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. both days.

It then travels to Vermontville on Nov. 29 - Nov. 30. It will be at the Fire Barn, 130 S. Main. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 29 and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 30.

"The mobile office helps to make our services more convenient and accessible," Land said. "It’s a full-service branch office on wheels. I encourage area residents to take advantage of the mobile office while it is visiting their community."

It has logged nearly 100,000 miles since it first hit the road nearly seven years ago.

Land encourages all customers who have Internet access to check out the department’s online services at www.Michigan.gov/sos before visiting any branch office. For example, license plates and watercraft registrations can be renewed online. Browsing the site will help customers determine requirements before they go to an office.
