Must the social security card return to the place where the household registration is located?

Legal analysis: social security card has nothing to do with household registration, but only with the place where you work. In which city to work, in which city to apply for social security card, pay social security fees. The payment unit of social insurance premium will pay you a part, and your own salary will be deducted. Social security and social security cards are handled by the unit finance. Only when there is no unit, do it yourself and pay in full. If one day you return to work in the city where your household registration is located from a different place, you can transfer the social security in different places back to the social security in your household registration.
