The Latest Development on Guangzhou Household Registration

In 2023, Guangzhou will implement new policies related to household registration. One of the key changes is that the age requirements for certain talents will be relaxed by five years. Those who hold a bachelor's degree, master's degree, or doctorate, as well as those who have intermediate and senior professional qualifications, will be eligible.

In addition, the threshold for obtaining household registration in Guangzhou has been lowered. For example, in the past, "double first-class" undergraduates needed to have six months of continuous social security insurance. But now, they only need to participate in social insurance for one month to obtain household registration.

Meanwhile, the process of applying for household registration in Guangzhou has been simplified for new graduates. High school graduates who have secured jobs or started their own businesses in Guangzhou can apply for household registration directly at the Public Security Bureau, without having to go through a lot of complicated procedures.

In terms of specific requirements for household registration, there are several options available, including the point-based registration, the education-based registration, the professional title-based registration, and the skills-based registration.

For point-based registration, the emphasis is on a candidate's points ranking. The applicant must be legally and stably employed or self-employed in Guangzhou, be under 45 years of age, possess a valid Guangdong Residence Card, and have paid social insurance for four years or more. They must earn at least 100 points (the latest draft now requires 150) according to the scoring system.

For education-based registration, applicants must have a bachelor's degree, be under 40 years of age, have no criminal record, and have participated in social insurance for at least one month.

Professional title-based registration is also known as certification-based registration. Applicants with intermediate-level professional qualifications (system integration certificates) must be under 40 years of age and have paid social insurance for six months or more. Those with senior professional qualifications (information project management certificates) must be under 50 years old and have paid social insurance during the application period.

Finally, for skills-based registration, applicants must be engaged in occupations related to the technical fields listed in the Guangzhou Technical Skills Talent Introduction Plan. They must have obtained a certificate or passed the assessment and have worked and paid social insurance for at least six months in Guangzhou.

In summary, obtaining household registration is a significant step for many people who want to settle down in Guangzhou. With the new policy changes in 2023, the threshold for obtaining household registration has been lowered, providing more opportunities for qualified applicants to begin a new life in this vibrant city.
