Anyone who lives in the area or surrounding communities is welcome. The Mobile Office will be available from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the West Bloomfield Secretary of State’s office, 4301 Orchard Lake Rd.
“We are excited about our partnership with Secretary of State Ruth Johnson and One Stop Shop Mobile Office concept,” Bullard said. “We have been expanding our mobile offices into various community events lately, but this is a new level of convenience for Oakland County residents.”
“This is a win-win for Oakland County residents because they’ll have an opportunity to take care of county business and conduct Secretary of State transactions at the same time,” Johnson said. “Working together, we’re able to make government more accessible and convenient for everyone.”

Johnson has been a proponent of the use of mobile offices to save customers time and even gas money. As the previous Oakland County Clerk, she partnered with local libraries across the county to provide a full-service mobile branch office and today operates a full-service mobile office for the Secretary of State that travels across the state.
The Mobile Office is a no-frills operation. Employees set up shop with laptop computers and printers so they can provide customers with on-the-spot copies of birth certificates, death certificates and other public records. Normal copy fees apply. Citizens can access many services, including:
