Do I need to change my social security card for the city?

1. Legally speaking, the social security card system does not stipulate that social security cards must be replaced when changing cities. According to the provisions of the Social Insurance Law, social security cards are electronic media issued by the state to prove that individuals participate in social insurance, and their function is to facilitate the use of insured persons in medical institutions, social security institutions, banks and other places. So as long as the social security card is not expired or damaged, it can be used in any city.

2. From the actual situation, it is not completely correct to say that social security cards need to be changed to cities. Because the basic information of the social security card is bound to the personal ID card, and the ID card is universal in the whole country. Therefore, when individuals change cities, they only need to go to the local social security agency for transfer, without replacing their social security cards.

3. There are some special situations that need attention. For example, the original social security card needs to be reissued due to damage or loss. When changing cities, you need to re-apply to a new city social security agency. It turns out that the social security card uses local medical insurance. When you arrive in a new city, you need to use cross-regional medical insurance and go through the relevant procedures at the local social security agency.
