Do I need to apply for a new social security card to change jobs?

The social security card for changing jobs should be re-applied.

If the work place is transferred across provinces, that is to say, you are not working in this province and moved to another province, then in this case, your social security card needs to be re-processed, because the social security card is usually issued by the provincial people's social security department, so your original social security card and new identity can no longer be used, and you must replace it with a new social security card.

The social security card replacement process is as follows:

1. The applicant shall report the loss in advance before the social security card is reissued. Social security card loss reporting is divided into two forms:

(1) Report the loss in writing: the applicant shall report the loss in advance in writing at the social security card service outlets with the original resident ID card or household registration book;

(2) Oral loss reporting: the applicant can call the service telephone number of the issuing bank or 12333 to report the loss orally. If the loss is reported by telephone, the applicant shall provide his social security card number, name, ID number, work unit and contact telephone number and other relevant information;

2. After handling the pre-loss reporting, the applicant shall, within 3 working days, go to the card center service outlet or agency to handle the formal written loss reporting with the original ID card or household registration book;

3. After reporting the loss officially, you can apply for a new card or entrust others to do it. When applying, the original and photocopy of the ID cards of the client and the client shall be presented. After filling in the application form, the staff of the social security card service outlets shall handle and issue the card certificate. If you get sick during the card replacement, you can go to the designated hospital for medical treatment with your card, and keep the prescription details and charging documents for reimbursement according to the manual process;

4./KLOC-After 0/5 working days, the applicant can get a new card at the social security card service outlets with his/her ID card and card collection certificate.

To sum up, if you go to work in a new city across provinces, the previous social security card cannot be used across regions, and employees need to judge whether they need to transfer according to their own needs. After the social security transfer business is completed, they need to apply for a social security card. Generally speaking, working in different places requires a new social security card. After successfully handling the social security card, it is conducive to the subsequent reimbursement business.
