DETROIT, Mich. – Attendees of the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit can visit the mobile office booth Jan. 17-25 to complete on-the-spot Secretary of State transactions – like renewing a driver’s license, registering to vote, or getting a REAL ID.

Visitors will also be able to order the new limited-edition red, white, and blue license plates commemorating America’s 250th anniversary as a nation. The semiquincentennial plates will only be available through Dec. 31, 2026.

The auto show is held at Huntington Place in Detroit, and the mobile office will be open to the public on the following days and times:

Saturday, Jan. 17 – Saturday, Jan. 24

10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Sunday, Jan. 25

10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Since its debut in fall 2021 with just a single van in Southeast Michigan, the mobile office program’s fleet has grown to seven vehicles serving the entire state, making stops at senior centers, veterans’ organizations, health fairs, and other community events. In 2025, mobile offices brought accessible Secretary of State services to more than 1,100 events in communities throughout Michigan and conducted nearly 27,000 transactions for residents.
