If the age is 16 -26, the validity period of the social security card is 10 year; If the age is 26-60, the social security card is valid for 20 years; Over 60 years old, the social security card is valid for a long time.
Legal basis:
People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law Article 2 The state establishes social insurance systems such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance to protect citizens' right to get material help from the state and society in the event of old age, illness, industrial injury, unemployment and maternity.
Not all expired social security cards must be replaced. Since 2009, the city began to issue social security cards. Early social security cards were printed with the words "validity period: 10" on the front. As the second generation social security card was issued in 20 12, the card face is no longer marked with the validity period. At present, the third generation social security card has been fully distributed in our city. Compared with the second-generation social security card, the chip has a larger capacity and is loaded with "non-flash payment".
