The social security card has been issued. When can I get it?

It usually takes three to six months to get the social security card, depending on the regulations of the Social Security Bureau and designated bank outlets. There is no uniform law. The social security card is collected in the human resources and labor security department where the employer is located, and the social security card is collected in time according to the specified time. The social security card can be obtained 2 to 3 months after the application is accepted. The specific time depends on the progress of card processing. The social security card can be applied by the insured unit in a unified way, or it can be applied by an individual with the original ID card of the applicant and a copy of the ID card signed by him to the social security card service window of the insured place.

1, personal social security related information records, electronic certificates and information inquiry, etc. ;
