Clarendon County Government would like to make residents aware of a recent change in U.S. Postal Service (USPS) postmark practices that may affect time-sensitive mail.

Effective December 24, 2025, the USPS has clarified that the date shown on a postmark generally reflects the date when mail is first processed at a postal facility—not necessarily the date it is placed in a mailbox or dropped off at a post office.

America’s counties have a long and proud history of serving our nation’s veterans, a legacy that continues to this day as we work with our federal, state and local partners to ensure that the former service members in our communities have access to the resources they need to thrive.
