What should I do if my social security card expires?

Legal analysis: the social security card does not need to be re-applied, and it can continue to be used if its function is normal.

If the social security card is valid for more than 10 years, but it is not damaged, its medical function will not be affected, and it can still be used as a medical certificate. If the social security card chip needs to be replaced due to aging or damage, please call the service hotline of the social security card management center at 962222 for consultation.
