How long will it take to issue a social security card after paying social security?

It usually takes about two months to get a card after paying social security.

Employers need to buy social security for workers within 30 days from the date of employment, while social security administrative departments need to register social security information for workers in about two months and issue social security cards to them in time.

The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration.

The employing unit shall declare itself and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, and shall not postpone or reduce the payment except for legal reasons such as force majeure. The social insurance premiums that employees should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer, and the employer shall inform me of the details of paying social insurance premiums on a monthly basis.

Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in social insurance in the employing units and other flexible employees can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agencies.

The payment base of social security refers to the wage base used by enterprises or individual employees to calculate and pay social insurance premiums. This base multiplied by the prescribed rate is the amount of social insurance premiums that enterprises or individuals should pay.

Local social security payment bases are linked to local average wage data. It is determined according to the average monthly wage income of employees from June 1 day to February 1 day in the previous year. Once a year, it will not change within one year after confirmation.
