DETROIT – If you need to renew your Michigan vehicle plates, you can now do it at Meijer.
The Michigan Secretary of State announced that 28 easy-to-use self-service stations have been placed in Meijer stores across Michigan to allow customers to renew their vehicle plate and registration using the self-serve station.

“Meijer stores are a favorite shopping spot for many Michiganders, and now many of them will also be a place where you can complete Secretary of State transactions, such as renewing your tabs,” Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said. “We’re very pleased to partner with Meijer to bring this convenience to our mutual customers.”
Benson announced a similar partnership with Kroger stores in 2019.
Residents don’t need to have their renewal packet with them to renew their registration at a self-service station. Eligible vehicles can be renewed with only the plate number and the last four digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Self-service stations offer renewals for automobiles, motorcycles and watercraft. The kiosks can print auto and motorcycle tabs. The Michigan SOS says more features will become available after the second portion of its computer system upgrade in March 2021.
