With sec of state closed, what the hell do I do now? I have a new truck that I need on the road pronto as my old truck broke down on me. How do I go about this? Can a dealer take care of this inconvenience for me?




I asked you guys cause there’s good info on here, anyone have a idea?
 
I’ll try that. Thanks man. I was hoping for something this week though, I had a appointment for Thursday the 26th before they closed just recently.
 
Same thing here. I made an appointment last week, they just canceled it, the email said appointment times will be available April 23 as of right now, but that could change.
 
Earliest sos is claiming to re open is April 23rd. I snagged the last appointment available for April 24th in monroe just a second ago. Earliest you can get in by appointment anywhere is now monday the 27th.

At least you got a email. They didn’t send me anything. I just found out from a co worker.
 
Wow! I had just made it to the counter to be helped at the SOS
the day they shut down the "normally operations". They locked
the the doors & said;

"anyone in here gets helped, anyone who
leaves for any reason, doesn't get back in".

I asked, what about folks who had an appointment
for later that day, the reply was; "all appointments
have been cancelled".

They said they would go to appointments only. I knew
that was going to make an already screwed up system
even more fun!
 
eesh i gotta ticket for expired tags (even tho i have tags on the car from texas, cop was being a jerk about it, but said get it reg here and we will drop it, which i was planning on doing anyways).

Can't get a court date either lol. eessshh this is a mess.
 
Almost sound lawless. Cops aren’t supposed to pull anyone over, courts and lawyers offices closed.... sos..... what is going on??? :-D

When & where were you pulled over?
 
call your insurance company ... put coverage on it ... drive it with no plate ... keep the title with you ...if you get pulled over ... ask the cop WTF am I supposed to do ....
 
Yup. I called a dealership seeing if they could help at all. He said they’ve been able to transfer titles, but still nothing for plates.

this is exactly what ive been telling my customers to do. not sure if its entirely legal but what else can you do if you have to have a vehicle...
 
Anyone have any luck with mail in stuff? Wife's license expires tomorrow. We mailed it on on May 2nd and the Secy of State hasn't even cashed the check yet. WTF are they doing? Are they all laid off or something? it wouldn't be a big deal but she is headed to Clay-Como on Monday, going to use passport at the airport, but it is shitty to be traveling with an expired license.

My Secty of State appointment has been cancelled 4 times. This time I made (2) appointments at (2) different branches. Fortunately, one of the appointments is for 2 days after they are supposed to open up in June. I just haven't been driving the Jeep....

grr

Took over a month to renew my boat. I did it online the day I got it. Sold the boat and bought a new one before it even came lol.
 
i just tried online, same day apt. and it gave me an option for next day 6/17 at 9am, seen some others saying this worked, looks like it does.

Wife's license has been expired for two weeks, SOS hasn't even cashed the check yet. My dad mailed his plate renewal two weeks before we mailed in license renewal, and he just got them back. That makes them about six weeks behind on mail in (plus the normal two weeks)? Plenty of time to mail out absentee voter applications though! Sorry, I know, no politics, but I think it is important that everyone understands our state's priorities. This year, it is not the citizen.
