Do I need to change the second generation social security card?

The second generation social security card has no expiration date, so there is no need to change it for three generations. After the expiration of the social security card, if the function of the card is normal, it does not need to be renewed, and it can continue to be used without being limited by the validity period. If the social security card is damaged and needs to be replaced, I or others can take my ID card, the client's ID card and the damaged social security card to the social security card replacement outlet to go through the relevant formalities.

Those who have already applied for the second-generation social security card need not apply for the third-generation social security card, and the second-generation social security card will be reissued when it expires or is lost. The third generation social security card is compatible with all the functions of the second generation social security card, and it is an upgraded version of the second generation card technology and security.

The third generation social security card has added some functions, such as non-connection function, asymmetric security authentication system, biometric identification, personal CA certificate and so on. , and has become the best and most widely used e-government card in China. It can be widely used in social security, medical insurance, medical care, wage distribution, various subsidies, smart transportation and other public service fields and smart city construction.

The third-generation social security card is not mandatory, and citizens voluntarily choose to renew the third-generation social security card or continue to hold the second-generation social security card. For citizens who have not yet renewed or have not activated the third-generation social security card after renewal, they can still use the original second-generation social security card, and the original social security and financial functions remain unchanged.

If a new second-generation social security card is redeemed at the original cooperative bank, the original second-generation card financial account will be cancelled by the bank and the third-generation social security card financial account will be activated. Users who change banks and renew third-generation social security cards can go directly to cooperative banks with their identity documents.

After the financial and social security functions of the third-generation social security card are activated, the social security account of the original second-generation card is automatically cancelled. The balance of medical insurance account is automatically transferred to the third generation social security card, and the financial account is retained. Citizens can decide to keep or cancel in the original cooperative bank.
