Can I personally buy social security in Guangzhou?

It depends. 1. If you are a registered resident in Guangzhou, you can apply to the social security bureau where your household registration is located for social security payment. (Bring ID card, unemployment certificate, household registration book, digital photo receipt, and bank passbook)

2. Non-Guangzhou urban household registration, unable to apply for self-funded social security. You can only apply for social security through the employer.
