Can I still apply for a social security card at work after I have done it in my hometown?

Legal analysis: Yes, but the insured can only enjoy one right. It is recommended to transfer directly to social security.

Social security transfer procedures:

1. Before the insured person moves across provinces, he/she shall issue the Certificate of Payment of Basic Old-age Insurance to the social security agency of the original insured place;

2. The insured holds the payment voucher, household registration book, ID card, etc. Until the social security agency of the new place of employment handles the continuation relationship;

3. The social security agency in the new place of employment will review whether the applicant meets the requirements within 15 working days;

4. After receiving the contact letter 15 working days, the social security agency of the original insured place will clear up whether the applicant's insurance payment is in arrears and handle the transfer of the old-age insurance fund, terminate the applicant's local insurance relationship, and issue the basic old-age insurance relationship transfer and connection information form to the new insured place;

5. The social security institution of the newly insured place shall complete the relevant procedures within 15 working days after receiving the information form and the transfer fund.
