Definition

In mainland China, a social security card (社会保障卡) is a government ID card for pensions, medical insurance, and related services. Treat the number like other identity documents — it can be abused for fraud if copied.

Real-World Example

A clinic asking to scan your 社保卡 for medical insurance, which also ties the visit to your official identity record.
