Where can I get a social security card?

Social security cards can be handled at street (town) social security card application service outlets, or at social security agencies. When applying, you need to bring your ID card, household registration book, application form (citizens with collective household registration need to bring the household registration certificate issued by the local police station or police station) and other related materials.

Those who meet the application conditions can make an appointment by telephone at the application outlets or apply for social security cards directly at the street (town) social security card application service outlets. When applying, you need to bring your ID card, account book, application form (citizens with collective accounts need to bring the household registration certificate issued by the local police station or police station) and other related materials.

Matters needing attention in using social security card

1. After you get a new social security card, don't forget to check the activation method. Although most of them are similar, you should also pay attention, especially the initial password, which is generally 000000.

2. A more convenient way to activate the social security card is to go to a regular drugstore nearby where you can brush the medical insurance card, and tell the clerk to activate the new social security card, and then the operation can be completed soon.

3. After the new social security card is activated, it is best to set a password, so that when we use it, we can only use it ourselves. After someone finds your social security card, you can't steal it casually.

4. Note that the new social security card has the function of a bank card and needs to be activated before it can be used. If it is not activated, it cannot be used. Of course, if the bank card is activated, please note that there may be an annual fee, account management fee and so on, because if the same bank has two bank cards, only one of them can avoid the annual fee.
