driver's license

The new option has been around since 2021 but some people are just now becoming aware of it.

If you recently moved to Michigan, you may be wondering how long you have before you need to get a Michigan driver's license. Well, that answer depends on a few factors.

Unlike most states who refer to it as the DMV, in Michigan the department that handles the registering of vehicles is called the Secretary of State. Why?

Soon Michiganders may select a non-binary option as the sex on their driver's licenses and state identification cards.

Hint: the best way to avoid doing it is to obey Michigan traffic laws. Otherwise, you get a lovely letter from our friends at the capital building in Lansing.

Take this as just an opinion, but who wouldn't appreciate shorter waits, less crying kids (and let's be real, adults) and less stress at the Secretary of State?

If you already have it in preparation for the original 2021 deadline, great! Otherwise, don't stress. You have plenty of time...about two years, actually.

The new online services are going to greatly decrease the need to sit in the SOS Office for hours on end.

If you have been waiting to get renewed, you better hurry up.

During the pandemic, any license, ID, or vehicle registration that expired after March 1st was extended until September 30th. Guess what? That's next Wednesday.
