Do I have to pay to activate my social security card?

No need;

After the insured participates in social insurance according to the regulations, they generally have social security cards for their use and related treatment; The activation of the social security card only allows the related functions of the social security card to be used normally, and there is no need to pay extra for activation.

After getting the social security card, the insured person can carry personal valid identity documents, social security cards and other related materials, and go to the local social security agency or designated bank to handle the social security card activation business; Of course, it is also possible for individuals to activate directly through online channels. To be on the safe side, I suggest you confirm it before the operation, so as not to waste time.

How long will the social security card be activated?

The general requirement is within half a year, and some areas will require it to be completed within 300 days. The specific requirements shall be subject to the local actual rules of the insured area.

After getting the social security card, the insured needs to complete the activation of the social security card as soon as possible to avoid affecting the use of related benefits. As for the specific time limit for the activation of social security cards, the rules in different regions will be different, which needs to be determined according to the local actual situation in the insured areas, and cannot be generalized. I suggest you consult the local social security center directly.
