What does the expiration date on the social security card mean?

The validity period is the validity period of the social security card held by the cardholder. If the card expires, you need to renew it before you can use it. The principle is the same as the validity period of the ID card. The validity period of social security card is 10 year. After the expiration, the cardholder can apply for a new card.

There is actually a general rule about this validity period:

1.1under 6 years old, the social security card is generally valid for 6 years;

2. 16 years old to 26 years old, and the validity period of social security cards is generally 10 years;

3.26 years of age under 60 years of age, the validity period of social security card is generally 20 years;

For insured persons over 4.60 years of age, the validity period of social security cards is generally long-term.

Clarity of the validity period of social security: the writing of the validity period is also varied and inconsistent. Some are written on the front (without a license), while others are written on the back (with photos and details). The validity period is accurately written in the following: the validity period expires on XX, XX, XX, or directly marked as XX. Of course, this type will indicate the release date, and then you can calculate when it will expire.

However, many users' social security cards do not indicate the validity period of social security cards. At this time, we need to manually check and understand.

The following information is required to replace the social security card:

1, I need to provide the original ID card (copy of ID card);

2. The client shall provide the power of attorney, the client's ID card (photocopy) and the agent's ID card (photocopy);

3. Need an electronic version of the second-generation ID photo.
