The third generation citizen card needs to be activated.

The third-generation social security card will be equipped with a "contactless" function. Compared with the second-generation social security card, this technological improvement can greatly facilitate cardholders to use the card and expand application scenarios. At the same time, social security cards, which are traditionally mainly used offline, will also be deeply integrated with the Internet and big data, and connect more social service channels by building an online social security card service platform. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will implement the human resources and social security big data strategy, integrate social security card applications, services, and management information to build a "card usage trajectory map." By gathering and integrating population, employment, social insurance and other data resources, we can accurately perceive workers' employment, entrepreneurship and talent service needs, and provide targeted services.

Citizen Card is an integrated circuit (IC) card issued to the society by local human resources and social security departments and used in various business fields of human resources and social security.
