Can't the social security card be used immediately?

1. Cardholders are required to bring valid identity documents and social security cards to the social security card service outlets or designated bank outlets for activation.

2. Under the guidance of branch staff, cardholders need to provide ID number, social security card number and other related information to verify their identity.

3. After the verification is passed, the staff will activate the social security card, including setting the password and binding personal information.

Three. Precautions for use after activation

1. Take care of the social security card to avoid loss or misappropriation.

2. Remember the social security card password and don't disclose it to others at will.

3. Check the social security account information regularly to ensure the normal distribution of various benefits.

To sum up:
