Must the social security card be handled at the place where the household registration is located?

Legal analysis: social security cards do not have to be handled at the place of household registration. Social security has little to do with the location of household registration, but with the location of work. Social insurance is a kind of guarantee provided by the compulsory unit of the state to protect the rights and interests of workers. This is also the basic guarantee for workers to work with peace of mind and live a stable life. Its payment grade is selected according to its own ability. The payment period is as short as 15 years, and most of them retire.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Article 4 Employers and individuals who pay social insurance premiums according to law in People's Republic of China (PRC) have the right to inquire about payment records and personal rights and interests records, and ask social insurance agencies to provide social insurance consultation and other related services.

Individuals enjoy social insurance benefits according to law and have the right to supervise the payment of their own units.

Article 58 An employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration.
