I know crazy huh? The opened a new Sec of state in my little town of Highland. I went there yesterday to renew my tabs. I went in and this place was HUGE and nice. Took a look around not too busy, 6 people in front of me. Then I noticed a sign that said something about their 24 hour tab renewal in now open. I was like Huh? I walked around trying to figure out what or where it was. Did not see anything. Then I noticed some guy walk in the door with his registration in his hand and he stopped in the lobby did something for a minute and walked out. WITH TABS IN HIS HAND. I went and peeked out the window and I had walked right by this machine. Went out and low and behold it was a tab renewal machine. I stuck in my bank card swiped my bar code and a minute later I was walking out the door. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

Compared to what they were like years ago, they have come a LONG way! I wonder if they are going to install those machines at all locations eventually? That would be such a time saver (Not that any visit has taken more than 20 minutes as it is now.)

I do all of ours on line. Works great.

The one they opened in Wixom a year or two ago was like that too. Until people realized it was there, it's insane now.

I remember all too well the nightmare at the Secretary of State's in Michigan. Glad to see that they're getting their act together. Last time I was in one of those places, they wouldn't take a debit card.

I do ours on line here in AZ.

Convenient.

Check it out:

I don't have to renew my driver's license here until 2025.

Is MI still every eight years?

I just renewed mine and it's for 4 years . But the S.O.S. usually lets me renew it again by mail the next time .

The Secretary of State is 1000 times better here than it is in Virginia where you might have to wait three hours at a packed office to register a vehicle.

I LOVE the new machines too. Unfortunately, last year, I didn't notice and waited until my number was called only to be told to go get my tabs from the machine. This year, I won't wait.

Well in years past I did my tabs and license on line when I could. But this year money was too tight and we had to wait until we had the money for it. Nothing beats the online service.
