This updated version of the social security card integrates several public service functions, including work permit information inquiry and verification, social security card services, medical treatment, transportation, tourism, and financial payments, making it more convenient for foreign nationals working and living in Jinan.
Notably, foreign workers can simultaneously receive both a physical social security card with work permit information and an electronic version. The electronic social security card can be accessed via an app, allowing users to query and download work permit information and verify it through a dynamic QR code in real-time.

At present, Qilu Bank is the first pilot bank to issue the updated social security cards with work permit information. All branches of Qilu Bank in the city are providing this service. Additionally, other partner banks for social security cards are actively working on integrating services to provide broader and more convenient options for foreign nationals as soon as possible.
What does the new social security card with work permit information look like?
The new social security card, which includes work permit information, is based on the third-generation standard card design in Jinan. It adds a “Work Permit Number” and reduces the “Card Number,” incorporating a watermark with the unified logo of the “National Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs.”
Who is eligible to apply for this card?
Foreign nationals who have never applied for a social security card in Jinan but have obtained work permit approval can apply for this new card. Foreign nationals who have already obtained a social security card in Jinan and have passed the work permit approval process can apply for a replacement card with the added work permit information.
How to apply for the new social security card with work permit information?
Foreign nationals working in Jinan who wish to apply for the new social security card must present their valid passport in person at any Qilu Bank branch in the city. The card can be issued immediately (appointments can be made in advance by calling Qilu Bank’s hotline at 4006096588). In the future, other partner banks for social security cards will also gradually begin offering this service.
