📖 About this office
The Horry County Clerk of Court runs a passport acceptance counter at its South Strand office on Scipio Lane, in the Socastee area southwest of the beachfront. Unlike the main post office, this county facility accepts walk-ins during regular weekday business hours, which makes it a flexible option if you'd rather not commit to a fixed appointment time. Staff review your documents, witness your signature, and forward your application to a federal processing center.
It's a natural choice for residents on the south end of the Grand Strand who want to skip the downtown traffic. Because it's a government office rather than a retail counter, it's worth calling ahead at 843-915-5082 to confirm the current schedule. If you're closer to the center of town, the by-appointment Kings Highway post office is the other local option, and our South Carolina guide covers what to bring.
💡 Good to know
This is the Clerk of Court's South Strand branch — the main office is in Conway, so head to the Scipio Lane address for Myrtle Beach service. Bring your completed but unsigned DS-11, proof of citizenship, and photo ID; the clerk witnesses your signature. Confirm hours by phone, and compare it with the other Myrtle Beach office if timing matters.
