Select Meijer supermarket locations in Michigan are piloting a self-service kiosk program in conjunction with the Michigan Secretary of State that will enable convenient access to vehicle registration and renewal services.
According to mlive.com, Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said the idea stemmed from a desire to reduce wait times at branch offices.
"I thought why don't we put up these kiosks not just in the Secretary of State offices but when somebody goes to get bread, milk, shirt, a fishing pole, they can also get can also get their licenses plate tabs," she said in the article.
The state already has self-service stations at many branch offices and other government offices, according to its website. The machines accept major credits and charge nominal fees for transactions.
