7. Household Registration Attachment Options:
a. Individual Household: This refers to a household composed of an individual or is registered under the individual, their spouse, or direct relatives' property. There are two types: individual property household and relatives' property household.
- Individual property household: If you own property in Shenzhen, you can register the household under your own name.
- Relatives' property household: If you don't own property in Shenzhen but have relatives or friends who own property, you can attach your household to their property.
b. Collective Household: Shenzhen currently has several types of collective households:
- School collective households: Primarily for college students studying in Shenzhen, they can transfer their household registration to the school's collective household during their studies.
- Workplace collective households: Divided into personal workplace collective households and spouse's workplace collective households.
- Personal workplace collective household: If your workplace has a collective household, you can register directly under that collective household as long as you work there.
- Spouse's workplace collective household: If your spouse works at a company with a collective household, with their consent, you can register under their workplace collective household. In this case, you will need a copy of the collective household's homepage or a declaration of consent stamped by the spouse's workplace. However, you may be required to move out if you leave the job.
- Police station collective households: These collective households are managed by the household registration department of a police station. You can attach your household to this kind of collective household for free. Moving to a different job will not require you to move out, providing a relatively stable option. If you don't have property or a collective household in Shenzhen, you can attach your household to the police station's collective household.
