Is social security card universal in China?

As of February, 20021year, the social security card could not be used nationwide, because the current social security policy is coordinated by all provinces and cities, and there is no national coordination.

Recently, a young netizen who has just entered the society asked how long it will take for the social security card to be unified nationwide, so that it is only necessary to apply for a card instead of repeating it in every province.

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that the technical standards of social security cards are unified nationwide, and the issuance and application of social security cards are organized and implemented by local human resources and social security departments. Key information such as social security number and social security card name was read throughout the country, and was launched on 20 16. In the application of direct settlement of medical cards in different provinces of China, the national network has been realized.

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security mentioned that with the national overall planning and the construction of the national service system, the inter-provincial interoperability and application of social security cards will be further promoted, and the cross-provincial duplication of cards will be reduced. According to the relevant national requirements, inter-provincial services such as social security card application, activation, replacement and temporary loss reporting will be realized before the end of 20021.
