The Michigan Secretary of State's office has enhanced its online and self-service abilities, enabling people to do driver's license and stat ID transactions online.

Starting today (March 16), using the new online system, residents will now have the ability to renew or replace an enhanced driver's license or state ID if no new photo is required, look up the status of the requested license or state ID, add a motorcycle endorsement and get a driving record, among other options.

“Customers will now be able to renew or replace their driver’s licenses and IDs at any of our more than 130 new self-service stations across the state, and renew or replace their enhanced licenses and IDs online," Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said in a press release. “We have continuously expanded and improved customer options and service, even during the pandemic, and this upgrade will truly make our operations better than ever.”

Residents will also be able to sign up for the organ donor registry using self-service stations.

The Secretary of State currently has 135 self-service stations in branches and other locations across Michigan.
