Harrison County Chancery Clerk

The Harrison County Chancery Clerk's office on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is one of the most convenient non-USPS passport acceptance points on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Housed in the county courthouse complex just blocks from Biloxi Main Post Office, this office processes first-time passport applications and replacement requests without requiring the same online scheduling system as the post office — making it a practical alternative when USPS appointment slots are scarce.

The Chancery Clerk handles civil records, land records, and vital statistics alongside passport acceptance, giving applicants a full-service government destination. Residents from communities throughout Harrison County — from Gulfport to Long Beach — regularly use this location for passport services. The office is open during standard business hours Monday through Friday, and the passport acceptance window does not close for lunch, a convenience that sets it apart from many comparable facilities.

Applicants should bring a completed DS-11 form, original proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid government-issued photo ID, a passport photo, and the applicable fees. Both the government fee and the acceptance fee are due at time of submission; the acceptance fee is paid to Harrison County. Processing and mailing of completed passports is handled by the U.S. Department of State.

This Chancery Clerk office accepts passport applications Monday through Friday during business hours without a separate online booking system — useful if USPS slots are unavailable.

Residents in the Biloxi area can also review the Biloxi passport offices page for both acceptance locations in one place.
