Can I get a social security card on weekends?

You can't get a social security card on weekends.

Social security cards are handled in the local government affairs hall or related banks that cooperate with the local government. Government agencies that handle social security card business do not go to work on weekends, and banks can only handle business on weekdays from Monday to Friday. Therefore, social security cards are not allowed on weekends, and you need to go to designated bank outlets during normal working hours.

The role of social security card:

1, social security card records personal social security related information, electronic certificate and information inquiry, etc. ;

2. Record the insured's name, ID number, date of birth, gender, nationality, household registration and other basic information;

3. You can inquire about my pension, unemployment, medical care, work injury and maternity insurance payment;

4. You can take the card to the hospital and go to the pharmacy to buy medicine;

5, can handle medical care, unemployment, pension, work injury and maternity and other social security affairs;

6. You can query the total amount of endowment insurance and medical insurance.

To sum up, you can't apply for a social security card on weekends. A card can only be processed in the bank. Bank outlets are closed on weekends, and there are few business outlets. Employees only handle personal savings business. Social security card business only deals with financial account activation and deposit and withdrawal business. So you can't get a card on Saturday and Sunday.
