Individuals can of course buy social security. Individuals buying social security are actually nothing more than participating in the social security of employees or urban and rural residents as flexible employees. Moreover, if you participate in employee social security as a flexible employee, you generally only need to pay medical insurance and endowment insurance, and you must pay it in the area where your household registration is located. If an individual pays social security for the affiliated unit, it is no different from the social security paid by the unit, but at the same time, it is necessary to provide a certain service fee to the affiliated unit.

Want to buy personal social security, you can have the following two ways:

1. Go to the local social security bureau: If an individual needs to buy social security, he can go directly to the local social security bureau with his ID card, and the window staff of the social security bureau will go through the formalities for him, but if a third party is required to pay social security, he must also pay a certain service fee;

2. Direct online processing: In some areas, the online processing authority for social security has been opened, and social security can be purchased directly online, but the processing authority needs to be opened. You can consult the local social security bureau for details.

How to pay your own medical insurance?

If you are an urban resident, you need to bring your ID card, the original and photocopy of the household registration book, and one-inch color photos to the community neighborhood committee or social security office under the jurisdiction of the household registration place to pay for registration, and then you can buy it.

Rural residents can participate in rural cooperative medical care. Generally, the village Committee will inform you when to hand it in and handle it uniformly.

If you are self-employed, you can choose to establish a pool fund instead of a personal account, and pay the basic medical insurance premium at 4.2% of the local average monthly salary in the previous year. You can also choose to pay 8% of the local average monthly salary in the previous year and establish a personal account.
