Can I enroll as an organ donor at Michigan.gov/SOS?
Yes, you can add your name to the Michigan Organ Donor Registry during any driver's license/ID online transaction.
Online enrollment is also available in a standalone transaction by selecting the "Become an Organ Donor" hyperlink under the Driver's License and ID section on Online Services.
How does "Customer Authentication" help protect my online transactions at Michigan.gov/SOS?
The Customer Authentication process is a security feature of our new online transactions. It allows you access to your customer file only after your identity information has been correctly entered and verified. Express Renewal is the only online feature that does not require customer authentication. With an Express Renewal transaction, only the license plate number or watercraft registration number is displayed - no other customer details are revealed.
Once you have authenticated, the system provides a number of options: renewal alerts for your vehicle plates or driver's license, the ability to renew multiple vehicles at a time, online change of address and much more. You'll only need to authenticate once per session, so if you have several online transactions to conduct, the system will personalize your information for each transaction.
What should I do if I cannot renew my license plate through Secretary of State Online Services and my renewal notice states that my insurance needs to be verified?
You will need to renew either by mail or at a Secretary of State branch office and provide proof of current, valid insurance.

The Michigan Secretary of State has these Kiosks, but attempting to use one to renew my tabs (and attempting to do it online) has yielded the following message:
This vehicle isn't currently eligible for online renewal. Renew by mail by sending your renewal notice with proof of insurance.
I never got a renewal notice. My tabs expire in 4 days. I would like to go into the SOS office and talk to them in person, but attempting to make an appointment on their site does allow an option to make an appointment just to renew tabs. Is this not a service they still offer? Should I just make an appointment for something else?
