Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be at the Wixom Community Center on Sept. 3 and 4 to serve area customers.

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.

It will be in the Community Center parking lot at 49015 Pontiac Trail. Hours are

11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 3, and from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 4.

"Making the Department of State more convenient and accessible is the foundation of my agenda," Land said. "The Mobile Branch Office is an excellent tool that lets us reach out to all corners of Michigan."

Following its visit to Wixom, the Mobile Branch Office will travel to Brooklyn, Battle Creek, Northville and Novi. It has logged nearly 100,000 miles since it first hit the road six years ago.

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