Do I need to apply for a social security card myself?

Legal analysis: if it is an on-the-job employee, it is enough for the unit staff to apply for a social security card and provide personal identity documents and other relevant information after joining the company. If you don't have a work unit and pay social security as a flexible employee, you need to prepare personal information for the Social Security Bureau. If the insured person is urban and rural residents' medical insurance, you need to go to the community or neighborhood Committee to handle it.

1. Go to the local social security bureau to get the list of people who have not applied for social security cards and the registration form for applying for social security cards, and then collect the original ID cards of people who have not applied for this card.

2. Then copy the front and back, and cut the front and back of the ID card. Employees go to the social security card digital photo studio to take photos and get the receipt to check the ID card information: the social security card application registration form has the ID card information of all uninsured people, so be sure to check it with the original ID card collected. Then fill in the employee personal information carefully. Remember to bring your bank card when you hand in the form. The fees charged by the Social Security Bureau for handling social security cards must be swiped.

Legal basis: Article 57 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the employing unit shall, within 30 days from its establishment, apply to the local social insurance agency for social insurance registration with its business license, registration certificate or unit seal. The social insurance agency shall, within fifteen days from the date of receiving the application, examine and issue the social insurance registration certificate.

Article 58 An employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.
