Do universities need social security cards?

Legal analysis: because college students have not yet joined the work, they do not need to apply for social security cards for the time being. If individuals want to do it, they can consult the local community department. Those who meet the application conditions can make an appointment by telephone at the application outlets or apply for social security cards (including student ID cards) directly at the street (town) social security card application service outlets. 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.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
