Where can I apply for social insurance?

Legal analysis: social security should be handled by the local social security bureau. Generally speaking, employees with work units can submit personal data to the company and pay employee social security through the company. People who do not have a work unit can bring their valid identity documents and other materials to the local social security bureau to apply for social security for residents. Usually, employee social security can pay five insurances, while resident social security can only pay two insurances.

Legal basis: Article 72 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) establishes social insurance agencies in overall planning areas. According to the needs of the work, with the approval of the local social insurance administrative department and the organization management organ, the social insurance agency may set up branches and service outlets in this overall planning area. The personnel expenses of social insurance agencies and the basic operating expenses and management expenses incurred in handling social insurance shall be guaranteed by the finance at the same level in accordance with state regulations.
