What documents you need to bring to apply for a social security card

To get a Social Security card, you'll need to have the following documents:

First, a digital photo return is essential. If you are a new enrollee or have a magnetic stripe card, you must provide a digital photo return containing your name and ID number.

Secondly, valid documents need to be provided according to different status:

For Chinese citizens, you need to bring your original ID card and one copy of it. For people from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, you need to provide a permit to travel to and from the mainland as well as an employment certificate within the validity period. For foreigners, a passport or alien permanent residence permit and an employment certificate within the validity period are essential documents.

There are two ways to apply for a social security card:

Individual application: If you are eligible for the issuance of a financial social security card, or if you need to reissue or replace the card, you can choose the business outlets of the cooperative banks to apply for the card, which is more convenient to choose independently. Unit batch application: If you are an employee of a unit, you can apply to the unit by applying to the unit's operator to apply for the financial social security card for employees in batch uniformly, which can save time and energy.

Make sure you bring all the required documents and follow the corresponding application process, and you will be able to successfully complete the processing of social security cards.
