Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be in Muskegon County to serve area customers on Nov. 12.

Hours are noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12. The office will be at the Michigan Works office, 2389 E. Laketon Ave., in Muskegon, as part of a Project Homeless Connect event. The event will offer resources available to area homeless people.

"The Mobile Branch Office offers area residents a convenient option to conduct their Department of State business," Land said. "I encourage area residents to take advantage of this opportunity."

The facility is a full-service Secretary of State branch office and is accessible to people with disabilities. It is hauled statewide on a 24-foot trailer that has logged more than 125,000 miles since it first hit the road more than 10 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 tabs and watercraft registrations can be renewed online. Browsing the site will help customers determine requirements before they go to an office.
