Is the photo of the third generation social security card a photo of the ID card?

According to official website of the Social Security Bureau, the photos of the three generations of social security cards are all ID cards. Because the information of the social security card and the electronic information of the ID card are common, it is very convenient for the network to automatically connect the information of the ID card and directly read the photo information to handle the card when handling the social security card. At present, the social security card is in the stage of upgrading from the second generation card to the third generation card. You can apply for the third generation social security card at the social security hall or the relevant bank with your ID card.
