initiative of the National Government, in partnership with the Nairobi
Metropolitan Services (NMS) and KRA.

system and its design can be customized to suit other Counties’ specific
revenue collection needs.
The system will enhance service delivery by having simple
and easy-to-use system features and providing timely information to customers
on the status of their requests and applications.

and renewals of services such as customer registration and account creation,
payment for Parking Fees, Market Cess, applications, and renewals of Trade

with their National or Alien ID number, KRA PIN, and other details for
validation and account security purposes. NRS services are also available on
USSD via *647#.
