How can I pay social security without a unit?

No unit personnel shall pay social security in the following ways:

First find the unit authorized by the local human resources and social security bureau to pay the fee. Generally, these units are talent service agencies living in different places where the household registration is located. If you don't know where these units are, you can ask the local social security handling center, and they will tell you where to pay, what documents you need to bring, and so on. You just need to bring the materials you need as required.

Second, pay social security directly to the Social Security Bureau. This situation is the first choice of many people, but it costs more, because all social security expenses have to be borne by themselves, and it is more troublesome and expensive to pay in the social security bureau on time every month, but there is no choice.

Individuals who pay social security can generally only pay medical insurance and endowment insurance. There are two ways to choose: paying social security for residents; going to the social security bureau of the household registration, which generally includes residents' medical insurance and residents' endowment insurance. Pay employee social security as flexible employment: pay in the social security department of the household registration, and the treatment is the same as employee social security, generally including employee medical insurance and employee endowment insurance. In some places, even if you don't have a local hukou, you can pay if you meet certain conditions.
