廣州是中國(guó)重要的經(jīng)濟(jì)中心城市之一， attracting individuals from all over China who aspire to make a living there. To accommodate this influx of people, Guangzhou has a set of policies in place for acquiring a household registration, as well as gaining access to social security benefits. This article delves into Guangzhou's policies and conditions for gaining a household registration and social security benefits.

As of 2023, Guangzhou has made adjustments to its policies around acquiring a household registration. The age requirement for certain talent holding undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. degrees has been relaxed by 5 years. Additionally, individuals with intermediate or senior professional and technical qualifications have had their age requirement for seeking a household registration loosened by 5 years.

Guangzhou has also lowered its household registration threshold. The city no longer requires people from "double first-class" universities with undergraduate degrees to have held continuous social security coverage for six months to be eligible to apply for a household registration. Instead, only participation in social security is enough to apply.

For recent graduates, Guangzhou has adopted the practice of accepting and registering students new to the city in one smooth process. The high school graduates who have secured employment or plan to start a business in the city can directly apply for a household registration at the public security department without needing to go through complex intermediate procedures.

Guangzhou has implemented a points system to ease access to household registration for talented individuals. The system relies on the accumulation of a specific number of points to earn a registration. Factors that go into the point system include holding steady employment in the city or starting a business, being younger than 45, holding a valid Guangdong residence permit, paying into social insurance for four years or more, and having no record of criminal activity in the last five years.

As for obtaining a household registration through the education route, the city has lowered its requirements for eligible incoming talent. Before July 2022, applicants with a qualifying education level had to show six continuous months of Guangzhou social security contributions before they could apply for a household registration. However, after July 2022, only one month of social security contributions would make them eligible.

Eligibility for a household registration through the education route requires a non-criminal record, an age of 40 years or younger, a bachelor's degree from a recognized institution, and normal social security contributions. The requirements for household registration through obtaining a professional certification, or "kaoshi," are a mid-level certification in systems integration and 6-month contributions to social security at the age of fewer than 40 years, or a senior-level certification in information project management and social security contributions during the application period at a maximum age of 50.

Finally, for those with technical skill certifications, Guangzhou has implemented the technical skills policy, where those who work in affiliated industries in the city and have acquired relevant certificates and completed social security contributions for at least six months or more (with specific exemptions) become eligible for a household registration.

In conclusion, Guangzhou has various household registration policies and requirements for people of different educational backgrounds and professional skill sets. To ensure that you are aware of the requirements and fulfill the necessary prerequisites, it is advisable to confirm registration eligibility with the relevant government agencies.
