Polygraph Testing for Myrtle Beach Residents
A lie detector test for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina residents costs $1,500 for a single person examination at our Charleston location, just 87.4 miles away.

Myrtle Beach lives on visitors — the heart of the Grand Strand draws millions to its beaches and golf courses every year — but polygraph examinations are one service that is not on offer in town. LieDetectorTest.com has no Myrtle Beach office. Our nearest examiner works from 170 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29401, a trip of 87.4 miles down the coast that takes around 151 minutes by car.
The permanent population here is only about 31,000, yet the questions that lead people to a lie detector test are as common as anywhere: suspected infidelity, accusations flying inside a family, an employee under a cloud, a defence attorney who wants facts before trial. For all of these, we insist on the same thing — testing in a controlled, private office. Physiological data recorded in a hotel room on the Strand would be vulnerable to noise, interruption and challenge, and that defeats the point of testing at all.
In Charleston your examination is handled start to finish by a professional examiner trained to APA standards: a thorough pre-test interview, questions agreed with you in advance, computerised instrumentation, and careful scoring of the charts. You receive the outcome in person and a same-day written report. For Myrtle Beach clients the single examination is $1,500, couples testing is $2,800, and group bookings are $1,300 per person.

Preparing for Your Visit
Travelling to your polygraph appointment? These tips will help you arrive prepared and get the most accurate results.
Plan Your Journey
Your appointment at our Charleston office is approximately ~2 hr 31 min from Myrtle Beach. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early — rushing to your appointment can elevate your heart rate and affect your physiological baseline, which could impact accuracy. Plan for traffic and allow a small buffer.
The Night Before
Get a full night’s rest. Fatigue affects physiological responses and can interfere with the accuracy of your polygraph results. Avoid alcohol the evening before, and try to maintain your normal routine as much as possible.
What to Bring
Bring any relevant documents — case notes, a list of questions you want covered, or reference materials. If someone is accompanying you, they’re welcome to wait in reception while the examination takes place in a separate private room.
On the Day
- Avoid caffeine and stimulants — coffee, energy drinks, and nicotine elevate heart rate and can affect sensor readings
- Eat a light meal — don’t arrive on an empty stomach as sessions typically last 90 minutes to 2 hours
- Wear comfortable clothing — sensors are placed around the upper body, so avoid tight or restrictive layers
- Bring valid photo ID — your examiner will verify your identity before the examination begins

Why Our Results Are Trusted
The science behind our polygraph examinations at Charleston.
Accuracy Rate
When administered by a qualified, APA-qualified examiner using validated protocols, polygraph testing achieves 90–95% accuracy in specific-issue testing, supported by decades of peer-reviewed research.
Question Repetition
Every relevant question is repeated a minimum of three times during your examination. This multi-pass approach eliminates anomalies and ensures the physiological data is consistent and reliable.
Channels Monitored
Our digital instruments simultaneously monitor heart rate, blood pressure, respiration (thoracic and abdominal), and electrodermal activity — providing a comprehensive physiological profile throughout the examination.
Validated Technology
The polygraph is the only scientifically validated technology for truth verification. We reject unvalidated alternatives including voice stress analysers, mobile apps, and eye-tracking tools.
