krs

KRS is an acronym used for several distinct entities and individuals. In Polish administration, KRS stands for Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy, the National Court Register. It is a centralized database of legal entities operating in Poland, including companies, partnerships, foundations, and associations. Maintained by the Ministry of Justice, the KRS provides official data on registered entities, such as legal form, business activity, shareholding, and court decisions. It is used for due diligence, corporate verification, and public information, and its records are accessible online through the eKRS system or the ministerial portal. Changes in registration, such as formation, dissolution, or amendments, must be recorded in the KRS.

In the United States, KRS stands for Kentucky Retirement Systems, the public employee pension system for multiple Kentucky state and local government employees. It administers retirement, disability, and survivor benefits; participants include teachers, police, and other public workers. The system is governed by a board and funded through employee and employer contributions, with benefit calculations defined by state law.

In music and culture, KRS is associated with KRS-One, an American rapper and activist. The stage name is commonly explained as standing for Knowledge Reigns Supreme over Nearly Everyone, reflecting a focus on social and political themes in hip hop. KRS-One is a founding member of Boogie Down Productions and has had a long solo career.
