Can social security in Shanghai be transferred to Beijing?

Social security accounts are not unified nationwide. Every time you go to a new province and city, you need to re-establish a new social security account, because at present, the country has no ability to implement national social security unification. In your case, as long as you open a new social security account in Beijing, you can participate in the insurance normally. There is no need to transfer social security from Shanghai to Beijing, and it is the company's business to establish a new account. All you have to do is provide the materials.

If you want to transfer Shanghai's social security to Beijing, you can't handle it directly at the local social security center in Beijing. You should come to Shanghai and go through the transfer formalities at the social security center in Shanghai, but I don't recommend this, because after you transfer, the payment period in Shanghai will be gone, and the social security transfer will affect the money in your account. You'd better open another account in Beijing.
