Can individuals buy social security in different places?

Whether personal social security can be handled in different places generally depends on the situation:

1. Individuals who participate in social security in the name of enterprise employees do not need to apply for social security at the place where they are registered, and social security bureaus in different places can also apply for social security for local employees;

2. If you want to apply for social security for urban residents or new rural residents, you must go to the social security service outlets where your household registration is located, and you cannot participate in such social security in different places.

The policies for handling in different places are as follows:

1. For social security applicants who lack key materials, inform them of the missing materials at one time;

2. Cancel the grading procedures for migrant workers who are employed for the first time;

3. Non-local household registration personnel are not required to provide proof of participating in social insurance in their household registration location or other areas.

According to the relevant laws and regulations, individual industrial and commercial households without employees who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance at the employer and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.

To sum up, individuals cannot pay social security in other places. Because individuals have to go back to their domicile to pay social security, whether you have a job or a spouse living in a foreign country, you must go back to your domicile to pay social security. However, if you feel that it is troublesome to pay social security back to the place where you are registered and you don't work in a certain unit, you can choose to find a more reliable social security payment company. In this case, social security can be paid elsewhere.
