<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">In 2014, libraries across Michigan partnered with the Secretary of State’s office to promote the availability of public library computers for completing Secretary of State transactions.
On ExpressSOS.com, library patrons can renew registration/tabs for cars, trucks, motorcycles and watercraft. With its Print’N Go feature, you can print a receipt and drive your vehicle legally until the tabs arrive in the mail. Most people can also renew or
replace a standard driver's license or state ID. Keep in mind that every eight years, customers need to visit an SOS branch office to get an updated photo.
