The Muscovite social card is one of the most important documents of a resident of the capital, along with a passport and a pension certificate. Indeed, according to it, elderly people receive benefits for paying for transport, young families with children benefits and compensation, and this card also gives discounts in many stores in the city. That is why the loss of such an important document cannot be taken calmly.
Instruction manual

To restore a Muscovite’s lost social card, you must first come to the Bank of Moscow and block it. After all, if there is money on it, then it can even pay for any purchases in stores. The inconvenience is that in order to block an account and invalidate a card, only a call is not enough for a bank. The application must be written in person at the bank. And it is very important to get confirmation from the bank that your application has been accepted.

In addition to the bank, the loss of a social card must also be reported to the social security authorities. By the way, this is where you will have to get a new, restored card. There, the cardholder will be photographed again. Or you can bring a ready-made photo with you. And they will again begin drawing up a social card. The whole procedure takes about a month.
