How do individuals pay their own social security?

There are two main ways for individuals to pay social security, one is through the unit or social security platform, and the other is to pay social insurance as a freelancer. Details are as follows:

1. Individuals pay social insurance as freelancers: if they are registered residents in local cities and towns, they can apply to the social security bureau where they are registered to pay endowment insurance and medical insurance at their own expense. You need to bring your ID card, household registration book, unemployment certificate, digital photo receipt and bank passbook to the local social security bureau.

2. Work insurance: This is the most extensive way to participate in insurance. General companies will pay social security for individuals (if they don't pay, it is illegal and protected by law).

3. Unemployment and non-local residents pay social security: social security platform pays. In essence, like employee social security, you can enjoy the protection of five insurances, but individuals need to pay part of the company's expenses and platform service fees.
