SUMMARY:Michigan SOS Mobile Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:The Otsego County Commission on Aging (OCCOA) partners with the Michigan Secretary of State (SOS) to bring an SOS Mobile Office to the agency. The SOS Mobile Office serves people in Northern Michigan who live with barriers\, including older adults (age 60 and older)\, veterans\, and people living with disabilities. The SOS Mobile Office at the OCCOA differs from the ‘brick and mortar’ SOS office in Gaylord in that it brings Secretary of State services directly to clients and participants at the OCCOA.  Other than instant titles\, people can complete the same transactions that they could at a standalone SOS office\, including first-time Michigan IDs\, driver’s licenses or ID renewals\, title transfers\, and applications and/or renewals for disability placards. Clients pay for their services directly to the SOS Mobile unit.
