SOS with kangaroo

Kangaroo-themed campaign urges you to 'Hop Online' at ExpressSOS.com

Secretary of State Ruth Johnson is reminding customers—with the help of our friend Roo—to hop online, not in line to take care of SOS business with ExpressSOS.com. An electronic ad campaign featuring a kangaroo is premiering at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this week.

“It’s OK to be a pouch potato! Hop online, not in line with ‘Print ‘N Go’ because you don’t have time to lose. ExpressSOS.com is open 24/7, 365 days a year, making it convenient and painless,” said Johnson.

Anytime, anywhere you can renew your registration/tabs for your car, truck, motorcycle and watercraft. Most people can renew or replace a standard driver's license or state ID. (Every eight years, customers need to visit an office to get an updated photo). Customers can get a duplicate vehicle registration or title, and change/update their address and personal information. You can even join the organ donor registry, all from the comfort of your home, library, office or on the go.

ExpressSOS.com launched in 2011 and has conducted 9.6 million online transactions, saving customers the trip and avoiding the line.

A 30-second “Kangaruth” video will be aired statewide and a 20-second30-second and 1-1/2 minute version can be viewed at youtube.com/michsosoffice.

The video promoting the online service was produced in-house by Secretary Johnson and her Communications Office staff, with voice work assistance from volunteers Casey Simlar and Emily Johnson Nanney.
