Most license plate types can be ordered or renewed online at ExpressSOS.com. Drivers license permits and registrations for vehicles, motorcycles, snowmobiles or boats may be printed, allowing motorists to drive legally until they get their renewed drivers license or plate and tab in the mail. Additionally, customers may order a duplicate registration or title, change their address and register to be an organ donor on the website.

Man arrested in death of homeless camper
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A young man is in custody in Traverse City in the slaying of a homeless man whose body was found by hikers in late May.
Police say 18-year-old Joshua Vandehoef turned himself in early Wednesday through an arrangement with prosecutors. He's charged with murder in the death of 62-year-old James Chisholm , whose throat was slashed.
It wasn't immediately known if he has a lawyer who could comment on the allegations.
Chisholm's body was found by hikers on May 29, about 15 yards (13 meters) from Boardman Lake. He had been living in a tent. Police believe he had been in the area about three weeks.
Police say they searched properties in the Traverse City area and in Sacramento County, California, as part of the investigation.
