Can social security cards be transferred online?

Legal analysis: Yes. Through the national social insurance service platform, the insured chooses the service of "Inquiring about the transfer destination of social security application" to inquire whether the online application service has been opened in the transfer destination. In the area where the service has been opened, the insured person chooses the "social security transfer application" service, and after being successfully authenticated by a real person, fills in the relevant information of the transfer application and submits the application. Referral agencies are responsible for accepting applications and conducting background checks. If it is verified that the transfer conditions are met, the subsequent transfer process will be started. Applicants can log on to the national platform, download the "Pocket12333" APP or check the online application review results and subsequent transfer progress through the electronic social security card channel (all apps, applets and official WeChat accounts that have opened electronic social security cards).
