Can I apply for a temporary residence permit with my social security certificate now?

Legal analysis: you can't apply for a temporary residence permit with social security certificate, but you can go to the local police station to apply for it.

Legal basis: Article 15 of the Regulations on Household Registration in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that if a citizen stays in a city other than the county where his permanent residence is located for more than three days, the head of the temporary residence or himself shall report to the household registration authority for temporary registration within three days, and report for cancellation before leaving; If you stay in a hotel temporarily, the hotel will set up a passenger register for registration at any time. Citizens who live in the city or county where their permanent residence is located, or in rural areas outside the city or county where their permanent residence is located, do not apply for temporary registration, except for hotel accommodation registered at any time when a passenger register is set up.
