Wordcraft's translation office in Ras Al Khaimah is Shop 10, Al Rahma Building, in Al Nakheel near the RAK Department of Economic Development (RAK DED). It opens Monday to Friday 8:30 AM–10:00 PM, later than any other Wordcraft branch, and Saturday 8:30 AM–4:00 PM. The RAK team handles legal translation, attestation, notary drafting, company setup and visa files for the emirate.
Open Until 10 PM, Monday to Friday
Our Al Nakheel shop stays open three hours after the other Wordcraft branches close, so you can bring papers after work instead of taking time off. The late hours cover everything that happens at our counter; steps at government offices still follow their own timings:
| After 7 PM at our RAK office | Still follows government hours |
|---|---|
| Drop off originals and get a quote | Notary sessions at RAK Courts or with a licensed notary |
| Read and sign drafts of POAs, MOAs and affidavits | Court filings and hearings |
| Collect finished translations and attested documents | Counter visits at RAK DED, RAKEZ or ICP |
| Talk through a company setup or visa file with our staff | Medical tests and Emirates ID biometrics |
A typical evening visit covers the parts that need you in person. We then book the government steps for a daytime slot, or complete them remotely where the authority allows it.

Finding Us Near RAK DED in Al Nakheel
The landmark to ask for is the RAK Department of Economic Development building in Al Nakheel. The Al Rahma Building is close by, and Shop 10 opens straight onto the street: no tower, no lift, no reception desk.
- From the Old Town and the Corniche: cross to the Al Nakheel side of the creek and head for the RAK DED building.
- From Khuzam, Al Dhait or Al Mamourah: Al Nakheel is central and usually a short drive.
- From Al Hamra and the south: the drive is longer, so free collection is worth considering.
- Parking: easier than in Dubai or Sharjah, though busy near the government offices in the morning. Evenings are quieter.
Central Al Nakheel is where many of the emirate's government and commercial offices sit, which is why so many company files start at this shop.

The evening hours help here as well: hand over passports and sign forms after work, and we book the medical test and biometrics at a time that suits you.
