For the first time in my 50 years of being licensed to drive, I've never had a positive experience…read moreat the Secretary of State until today, March 16, 2026. Located at the secondary complex, 7064 Crowner Dr. in Lansing, a gentleman named Mr. Marco was my assistant. He went above and beyond to help me resolve a matter. For once, someone at the Secretary of State office showed intelligence, empathy, and compassion toward customers. He was patient, didn't get irritated, and listened to my explanation. He considered my reasoning, found a solution, and resolved the matter simply because he wasn't afraid to do his job. He wanted to help, and he's definitely the type of employee who deserves recognition for outstanding service. If only the Secretary of State had more dedicated employees like Mr. Marco, the office would be a much more pleasant place for business. Thanks again, Marco.

You can see why they are behind, there are 12 possible service windows but only 4 or 5 employees working them. Talk about poor management, each window could be making money if open. Almost every one there has to pay something for the service they need. It's a CASH COW business. Help get the unemployment numbers down Jocelyn Benson and hire more people. Right now your service stinks. This is a perfect example of a politician running a business. PS Don't try walking in without an appointment. It just doesn't work.
