A card for a card

A social security card that to be applied through a foreigner’s permanent residence identity card was firstly issued in Changning recently.

The entire process was completed at the Tianshan Road Community Service Center.

It is open to foreign nationals who hold a new version of their permanent residence identity card issued after December 1, 2023 (with a document number of 18 digits and the first digit being 9) and participate in social insurance in Shanghai. 

Any qualified applicants can submit at the community service center. 

Almost the same time, the Shanghai Hongqiao One-stop Service Center for Overseas Talents has been relocated to the Art Park Shopping Mall at 377 Songhong Road, above Metro Line 2’s Songhong Road Station.

Changning has further expanded its public service functions to facilitate “one-stop acceptance” of comprehensive applications by residents from overseas.

The district also established characteristic functional arms to provide more diverse and precision services for overseas talent locally and throughout the Yangtze River Delta region.
