The Michigan Secretary of State added 350,000 appointments at branch offices to clear a 13-month backlog of appointments.

 

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said a switch to an appointment-only system aimed to get people in and out of offices faster.

 

Half of the new appointments are already available, and appointments from the other 175,000 will be added to the system each week as next-day appointments, officials said. Those appointments come online each day at 8 a.m. and noon.

 

Appointments can be made online, through the call center (888-SOS-MICH) or in person at a secretary of state branch.

 

There is also a SOS self service kiosk at the Meijer store in Big Rapids for renewing registration, adding motorcycle endorsement and renew license/ID if photo isn't required.
