Verify Government Callers with Official Mississippi Phone Directories
The official numbers for Mississippi government offices are in Mississippi State Agency Directory and Mississippi State Government Telephone Directory (PDF). Use them to check a caller before you share anything.
Mississippi State Agency Directory
The MS.gov Agency Directory has a Search by Agency box that returns a Mississippi state agency's address and phone number, often with email and website links. The Governor's office is (601) 359-3150, the Attorney General (601) 359-3680, Human Services (601) 359-4500, Public Safety (601) 987-1212, Revenue (601) 923-7700 and MEMA (800) 222-6362.
When a caller claims to be from one of these offices, ring the agency on its listed number, not the one that called you. A few listings have no phone.
Mississippi State Government Telephone Directory (PDF)
The 2025-2026 Mississippi State Government Telephone Directory (PDF), hosted by the Department of Information Technology Services, lists phone numbers for Mississippi state agencies alphabetically with street address, main line, website and department-level extensions.

It goes further than the MS.gov agency directory. When a caller names a specific division, you can find that division's own number here. Highway Patrol is 601-987-1212 and Poison Control is 601-984-1675.
