Coldwater Secretary of State office to close for one week for move to temporary location

Most transactions can be done at Michigan.gov/SOS

COLDWATER, Mich. - The Coldwater Secretary of State office at 7 Vans Ave. will close for one week as it moves to a temporary location while its current building is remodeled.

The office will be closed on Monday, March 30 and will resume normal service at 9 a.m. on Monday, April 6, at 490 Marshall St. in Coldwater.
The project includes redesigning the office layout and adding a public restroom, new signage and siding on the exterior, and a multi-use room for staff. The team expects to complete the project in September.

During the weeklong closure, residents will have other options to complete their transactions. Many can be completed online at Michigan.gov/SOS. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's administration has doubled the number of services available online and now most transactions can be done from computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

Self-service stations provide instant license plate, driver's license and ID renewals, as well as some other transactions, and offer nine language options. The nearest self-service station is located in the Meijer store at 620 E. Chicago Rd. in Coldwater.

Residents who need to come into an office for Secretary of State services during the remodeling period may schedule a visit to the closest alternative office at Michigan.gov/SOS or by calling 888-767-6424. The nearest offices are located at 59 E. St. Joe St. in Hillsdale and 931 S. Centerville Rd. in Sturgis. The offices are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
