Eligible Michigan residents may qualify for a free state ID. Fees may apply to other Secretary of State transactions. Services are subject to available time and required documentation.

Preparing for the ID Clinic

Michigan law requires residents to present specific documents for license, state ID, vehicle, and other Secretary of State transactions. First-time license and state ID applicants should bring original documents showing:

• Legal presence
• Social Security number
• Identity
• Michigan residency
• Legal name changes, when applicable

Photocopies are not accepted unless otherwise noted by the Secretary of State. Some electronic documents may be accepted as proof of Michigan residency.

Residents experiencing homelessness may be able to use an HMIS ID and profile sheet showing their Social Security number, along with proof of legal presence.

Residents who have experienced incarceration may be able to use an MDOC ID and Basic Information Chart showing their Social Security number to meet identity and Social Security documentation requirements.

Please review VAAC’s Mobile Office document checklist before attending so you know which documents to bring for your transaction.

Anyone who does not have enough documentation to meet the standard requirements may request a document exception. Requests must be submitted to Michigan Secretary of State Mobile Office Coordinator Kelly Davis at DavisK7@Michigan.gov at least two days before the clinic. Include your full name, contact information, the transaction you need, the document you are missing, and a list of the documents you have.

The Back to School Market will also include:
