Chip may be right.
Nothing is usually written after it. You generally see it after the state and county in a notary certification or acknowledgement.
Check with the legal forum.

I have a copy of an Option Agreement, and at the top it says “State”, “County” and “SS”.
What does the “SS” mean?

In legal document lingo it means ‘Sworn & subscribed’. Your document’s author probably copied from an affidavit or such document. Or they could mean Social Security number, but I doubt it.

It’s an abbreviation for suprascriptus, a Latin word that means inscribed. When you use it in a contract, use both caps (SS), or both lower case (ss), but not one of each (not Ss or sS).

so nothing needs to be written in where the “SS” is correct?
