Can the social security card be activated elsewhere?

Legal analysis: social security cards cannot be activated in different places, because social security cards are distributed separately in various places, so if they want to be activated, they can only be activated locally. The social security card currently has two accounts, one is the social security account, which needs to be activated at the pharmacy or hospital designated by the insured place; The other is a financial account, which requires the insured to bring his social security card and ID card to the designated bank outlet for activation.

Legal basis: Article 72 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) establishes social insurance agencies in overall planning areas. According to the needs of the work, with the approval of the local social insurance administrative department and the organization management organ, the social insurance agency may set up branches and service outlets in this overall planning area.

The personnel expenses of social insurance agencies and the basic operating expenses and management expenses incurred in handling social insurance shall be guaranteed by the finance at the same level in accordance with state regulations.
