Michigan driver license/state personal ID #

This section asks for your driver’s license or state personal identification number.

Take note that Michigan law requires that the same address be used for your voter registration and driver’s license. If the residence address you will provide on the form is not the same as the address on your driver’s license or personal identification card, the Secretary of State will change the address on your driver’s license or personal identification card to match the residence address you provided on this form.

Enter your Michigan driver’s license or state personal identification number. If you do not have a Michigan driver’s license or personal identification card, you can enter the last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN) in the space provided.
