Do I need an unemployment certificate to apply for social security?

Legal analysis: You don't need an unemployment certificate to apply for social security. According to the relevant regulations on handling social insurance, units do not need to hold employment and unemployment registration certificates to handle social insurance for employees. Providing employment and unemployment registration certificate is not the premise and necessary condition for the unit to handle social insurance for employees, but only provides auxiliary materials that meet the requirements of the city's human resources management system, and there is no charge problem. Article 57 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of its establishment, apply to the local social insurance agency for social insurance registration with its business license, registration certificate or unit seal. The social insurance agency shall, within fifteen days from the date of receiving the application, examine and issue the social insurance registration certificate.
