What documents in Michigan do I need to bring to SOS for my driver’s license?

Question

I was on hold with the SOS for half an hour so I gave up, I have my document to prove I passed the road test, my driver’s permit (I’m over 18), my birth certificate, and my state ID. Is this enough?

It is likely enough. 
What did you bring to get the permit? 
The same 2 pieces of ID?

You'll need to supply your SS number if you haven't already.

It used to be easy to call them on the phone and ask, until a few years ago.  They hid all the branch phone numbers and started that 800 number that nobody ever answers.

Covid gave them more excuses to act even worse!

Gee, if only Michigan's DMV or SOS or whatever you call it there had some way to easily find information, like a website.

You may also need a social security number (card).  To know for sure you can check on the Michigan SOS (DMV) site.

You won't "bring" documents to the office, you will TAKE documents to the office.
