English term

SOC No.

English Law/Patents Law (general)
It's from a document named "Exhibit Bag"

This can't be social security number, because after this go:
Name/Rank/No.
Signature
Date

Name/Rank/No.
Signature
Date

Name/Rank/No.
Signature
Date
(several times) for several persons, but SOC No. on the top is only once.

Thank you in advance!

SOC No. - scene of crime number

Standard police abbreviation in the UK.
Obviously, each "scene of crime" gets a number,
and the name, rank and No. of the officers dealing with the issue are written down, signed and dated by them.

Standard Occupational Classification number

It would be helpful to see what number follows the abbreviation; the number format might narrow it down in what classification system this term is used. Based on the other fields, name/rank, it could be the Standard Occupational Classification. The abbreviation "SOC No." is rarely used for Social Security numbers; the standard abbreviation is SSN or Soc. Sec. #. I'm not sure how name/rank/SOC number/signature are related to the "exhibit bag" itself. An exhibit bag is a bag for securing and retaining articles of evidence in tamper-evident fashion. The data in your list refer to persons.
Note from asker:
Nothing follows the abbreviation, the field is empty
It's a British document. Thank you!
Then why for one person only? I repeat, this goes only once!
