The social security card is no longer magnetic. Where should I change it?

The social security card has lost its magnetism, so you can go to the local social security bureau or social insurance affairs office to replace it. There, you can submit an application and provide relevant identification documents, such as ID card and household registration book. The staff will help you change your card and apply for a new social security card. Please make sure to know the required documents and procedures in advance in order to successfully complete the card replacement process.

How to prevent social security card from degaussing

1. Don't fold or bend the social security card when using it.

2. Don't expose the social security card to the sun or store it in a high temperature environment. If the magnetic stripe is scratched or stained, it will also cause the magnetic stripe card not to be used normally.

3. Don't be too close to the magnetic buckles on women's bags and men's bags, or inside the hardware. Don't touch some equipment that can produce electromagnetic radiation.

4. Don't put multiple magnetic stripe cards together, because if the magnetic stripes of two cards touch each other, the social security card will be demagnetized. Pay attention to the magnetic resonance vibration in medical equipment, which will also lead to the degaussing of social security cards, so everyone should pay attention to this when going to the hospital.

To sum up, degaussing cards can be replaced at social security card service outlets or social security management centers.
