How many months can I apply for a social security card?

Legal analysis: it takes a certain period for people who participate in social security for the first time to apply for social security cards, which can be issued in about six months, and in some areas it may be issued in about three months.

Legal basis: Article 60 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall declare and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, and shall not postpone or reduce the payment except for legal reasons such as force majeure. The social insurance premiums that employees should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer, and the employer shall inform me of the details of paying social insurance premiums on a monthly basis. Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in social insurance in the employing units and other flexible employees can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agencies.
