Do you need to activate your social security card at the social security office?

There are three ways to activate your social security card:

1. Activate it at the bank

Go to the bank where your social security card is registered with your valid ID card and social security card (the card will be labeled on the card), and look for the staff at the counter, who will activate it for you. The activation of the social security card requires face authentication, so you must go in person.

2. Activation at the social security office

If you are applying for a new social security card, you can ask the staff at the social security office to activate your card when you receive it.

3, telephone activation

If it is not convenient to go out, you can also try to activate it by calling the social security hotline, which can be operated according to the voice prompts, or press "0" to transfer to the human service.
