Do children need to go to the scene in person to apply for social security cards?

Children do not need to go to the scene in person to apply for social security cards.

Parents usually prepare relevant materials for their children, but the specific situation may vary from region to region. Some places may stipulate that children of a certain age need to be present in person or accompanied by their parents.

Children's social security card processing process:

1. Parents can apply for an appointment by phone at the place where they are registered;

2. Take the baby directly to the township (street) social security office where the household registration is located to apply for a social security card;

3, fill in the social security card issuance registration application form;

Take the receipt to collect it in about 4.2 months.

To sum up, to apply for a social security card for a child, only the parents of the child need to prepare relevant materials to go through the formalities. Social security is co-ordinated by region, so the regulations in different regions may be different. In some places, children who reach a certain age also need to go to the scene and need to apply for social security cards with their parents.
