Do I need to use my existing social security card to re-apply for a job in a different place?

There is no need to redo the existing social security card work in different places.

If you already have a social security card, you can go through the transfer formalities with the original social security card to the social security card service institution in different places. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to apply for a new social security card. The specific process is as follows:

2. After going through the transfer formalities at the place where the household registration is located, you can apply for transferring the social security relationship to the place where you work in another place with the original social security card, ID card, household registration book and other relevant documents;

3. After handling the transfer procedures, you need to get a new social security card within the specified time, and carry out real-name authentication on the new social security card to ensure the normal transfer of social security relations.

1, the cumulative payment period of medical insurance (including the deemed payment period and actual payment period in this city) shall be 30 years for men and 25 years for women;
