Fax Michigan Motor Vehicles (DMV) — Send Documents Securely
Faxing documents for a DMV request to Michigan Department of State is fine — but the service you use has to protect the personal and, sometimes, health information those pages carry. Michigan Department of State is the agency that administers motor-vehicle services in Michigan, serving residents across the Great Lakes region. This guide covers the secure way to send the documents plus how to reach the correct office.
Does Michigan Department of State accept a fax?
Fax plays a narrow role at the DMV: records requests, medical-review submissions, disability-placard applications, and business or title documents. The everyday transactions stay online or in person. That one check keeps you from faxing into a system that may only take online filings.
Finding the official fax number
There is no fax number printed here on purpose — Michigan Department of State routes documents by office and the line changes. Start with the form or notice you are responding to, confirm the number on the agency's official site, and verify it by phone before sending.
