Where can I open a social security card?

The social security card shall be handled by the local social insurance agency. After the employer applies to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration, the social insurance agency will make a social security card at the bank outlet with which it cooperates, and then collect it at the bank outlet according to the time when the card is received by the bank. I can basically go to the bank to apply for a social security card myself. ICBC, CCB and BOC are all acceptable. I went to CCB. The bank has a special window to handle social security card business. However, it is recommended to go to a big bank. Big banks have special machines, which are much faster. Small banks need manual operation, so slow down. Prepare your bust before going to the bank, because the social security card should be attached with your own photo, below 100KB, and put it on the USB flash drive. Note that it must be placed on a USB flash drive, not on a mobile phone or anything else, because the bank only accepts photos placed on a USB flash drive.
