Any idea why the sos office in Oakland County, Novi isn’t available to sign in online today 1/9/2017
Looks like it’s working today, just a temporary glitch we guess.
This definitely doesn’t work as it should, it was far better off before when you just went in took a # and waited. Every time I used this appt I waited for 2!hours regardless of appt time. Someone from sos needs to make appt and try waiting and see just how system works. At least that’s how things are at office on Beck Rd in Novi
Yes, I would like to take my written test to get a driving permit.
Please follow the links George and best of luck to you.
why wont any of the locations let me get in line through text? there are no appointments available and this is how ive always done it
Wondering why I can’t remote get in line today. Says Wednesday available from 11:30-4:00 and it’s 11:55 and I’ve tried several times and it wont let me. Great idea if it worked.
looks like they aren’t doing to the get in line by text anymore. i just tried with the Troy location and it said you can only do the prior # thing with an actual appointment.
It’s hard to make an appointment when everything is booked I might lose my job about to be homeless
All good questions … please follow up with the SOS directly.
Please help me get my appointment tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m.

I need to purchase a license plate for my new utility trailer, plus pay the sale tax to the state for the original purchase. Where do it begin?
I just used the site http://www.expressSOS.com to get tabs. Go slow, but not too slow or they’ll time you out, and you should be fine.
I need to renew my handicap placard, as it expires on the 7th of this month and am not getting any reaction from your office. Have sent 2 requests in the past 2 weeks and gotten no response. Phoning your department is a joke. Unable to make an appointment on the web. Need help with this issue. Please respond, Thank You.

Please enlighten me.

I’m trying to get my address changed so I can vote in my new district I just moved
Trying to get a new plate came today in the mail a replacement. I needed a brand new plate not replacement. I bought a new car and transfer the old plates on new car. My old car now is without plates. I tried on line so I sent the form and a money order for plates for the old car. They got it mixed up somehow and sent a replacement that I don’t need. I need a totally new plate for the car. So the car is still going to sit. I need it now this has been sent once Oct. 1st.
It’s been very incompetent and extremely inconveniencing during the pandemic to get my car and insurance registered, months for a actual appointment and a total chaos as far as money is spent. Ppl selling actual appointments and none of the daily precautions are able to be handled because of COVID. It’s been a very frustrating hassle.
How can you renew your drivers license by appointment when the appointment is months past your expiration
Can you drive until ur appointment
Please advise
My driver’s license is about to expire plates also, tried many times to make appointment no luck just said to over crowded, SO NOW WHAT ? Can I drive and go to work and buy food or what this is your incompetence, guess I’ll drive anyway get pulled over and go to court, WASTE MORE TAXES PAYERS MONEY
I could not get a appointment back in sept It just let me and it’s all the way in March my license expired 11/02. Now do I have to pay late charge and can I drive ???
What did you do!!! This system USED to Work. Now EVERYTHING is messed up. Go back to the old secretary of state. Jocelyn Benson is an idiot and should be fired! This is the worst system I have ever tried to deal with!!
My driver’s license is about to expire plates also, tried many times to make appointment no luck just said to over crowded, SO NOW WHAT ?
I have been trying to make an app’t. My license expires in January. I can’t make any sense out of this system. It’s very frustrating! I guess I will have to drive with an expired license. This is a ridiculous system. You can’t get in touch with anyone who can help!!!!
Been trying to get appointment to renew my CDL license for about 2/3 months now and they expire in December and I must get this done since this is my means of working & taking care of my family. I am a over road truck driver and never know exactly when I will be home , but will be off road during holiday so hoping I can get this done while off but this is a bad setup for people like me thats not home everyday or even once a week. Usually gone 6 to 8 weeks and then only home on Friday evening till Sunday morning and sos closed so whats a person to do.!!!!

The SOS system does not work! The site overloaded at 8:00 a.m., then appointments are unavailable.
Who pays the fines and fees when penalties are assessed because you’re unable to make/get a timely appointment to do those transactions at the S.O.S.? $15.00 for title transfer after two weeks and I don’t know if a ticket comes with a fine for driving on an expired temporary plate. Bought the vehicle from an out of state dealer who said paperwork had to be mailed to a specific branch, but the branch doesn’t have it 12 days after it was mailed. No way to call and find out. Must go through the appointment process and hope somebody found it when you get there otherwise time there is wasted not to mention it takes about 2 hours every day trying to make an appointment. Why not have the branch notify by telephone or email when paperwork from out of state dealers are received?
I got an appointment but did not note the date and location. Where can I look that up?
Why doesn’t the SOS in Clio show up on the list? I DO NOT want to go to Flint!!!
I have an appointment for 1/6/1600 but no information on where
