L.S. means "locus sigilli" -- "under seal" (literally "place of the seal").
It is used to denote the "seal" that is required on deeds. In most states,
deeds must be signed (by the grantor), sealed (stamped with seal), and
delivered (presented to the grantee or to the court of recording).

Back in history, property ownership was limited to the very wealthy people,
who had their own seals. Since the democratization of land ownership, the
requirement for individuals is to just have the word "seal" or the
abbreviation "L.S." along with the signature. Corporations are required to
use an actual seal along with a certain number of signatures of corporate
officers (Pres, VP, CEO, etc).

Sorry, I will try and explain better! Both these documents are from Venezuela.
1) "Directora General de Registros y Notarías (E)". This is the job title of the person signing a legalisation certificate. I am trying to find out what (E) stands for.
2) At the bottom of a birth certificate, it says "“leyóseles y conformes firman.-El Jefe civil: XXXXXX (LS).- El Presentante, Fdo…..”, where XXXX is the registrar's name. Does anyone know what LS stands for?
Thanks!

Julia, yes, these letters definitely stand for something, but these will vary in different countries.

Julie: Let me see if I understand you: You have two queries, correct? 1. Is what does (E) stand for; and (2) meaning of LS. I believe that you need to reformulate your questions with context and useful information such as country, etc. would help!

Sorry, I should have given more detail. It is a legalisation of signature on the back of a birth certificate. This is the person signing the legalisation. The Prefect signing the actual birth certificate has (LS) after their actual name. Do you think this stands for anything, or could it be part of the name?

Julia, what type of a document is it? and is it in a specific format, like a table? are any other things in the document followed by single letters in parenthesis?
