📖 About this office

The Harrison County Chancery Clerk at 1801 23rd Avenue serves as Gulfport's most versatile passport acceptance facility — a county government office staffed specifically to handle full-service passport applications throughout the week. Located in the civic core of the city, the clerk's office accepts both passport books and passport cards, takes passport photos on site, and guides applicants through the DS-11 submission process with county staff on hand to answer questions.

Unlike post office locations that operate by scheduled appointment only, the Chancery Clerk's passport hours — 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday — offer a broader window for working adults and families who need flexibility. First-time applicants, minors, and those whose passports were lost or damaged can all apply here. The Biloxi district office at 730 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. is an alternate venue for Harrison County residents on the eastern shore.

Harrison County residents planning international travel from Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport will find the Chancery Clerk among the most straightforward local options.

💡 Good to know

The Chancery Clerk is the only Gulfport location that handles passport applications outside the USPS appointment system, which makes it a strong choice for applicants who prefer a county government setting or who missed online booking windows. Photo service on site means one less errand before your appointment. The Gulfport city guide covers the full landscape of local acceptance options.
