SEPTEMBER 24, 2008

The new West Oakland County PLUS Office in Highland opened today, giving Oakland and Livingston county customers extended Wednesday hours and more services in their area, Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land announced.

"The new West Oakland County PLUS Office offers what customers expect in the 21st century with its additional hours and expanded services," Land said. "Our PLUS offices show we're listening to customers when they tell us they want convenient services that meet their busy schedule. The office even features a Self-Service Station available 24 hours a day."

Other benefits of the new PLUS office at 672 N. Milford Road, include instant titles, payment by MasterCard and Discover at the counter, the ability to purchase your own driving record on site and a Self-Service Station for tab renewals. The office also has added hours on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on-site driver assessment personnel who perform driver re-examinations by appointment.

The West Oakland office was formed by consolidating the offices in Milford and Waterford, and it opens one week ahead of the new North Oakland County PLUS Office (due to open Oct. 1) in Clarkston. Already Oakland County is served by the Oakland County SUPER!Center in Pontiac, two other PLUS offices in Novi and Oak Park, and six traditional offices.

Land reminds residents who have Internet access to check out the Department's online services and Branch Office Locator at www.Michigan.gov/sos before visiting any office. For example, license tabs and watercraft registrations can be renewed online. Browsing the site helps customers know what documents they'll need to bring when they go to an office.
