Speaking about registering an offshore company in the jurisdiction of Ras Al Khaimah, it should be noted that it is carried out both in person and remotely. Registration of such companies is carried out by the official agents, who are empowered by the RAK ICC registry, and possess the state license for registration activity. In fact, the procedure is simple: the client addresses the dedicated agent who is subsequently engaged in the preparation and transmission of the necessary documentation to the regulatory authorities.
Functions of a registration agent can be performed by legal and consulting agencies. The underlying permit for registered agent activities for RAK ICC companies registration is the license confirming the status of the registered agent.. There are relatively few companies, which possess such a status, as the license of this type requires a significant number of conditions and the availability of vocational qualifications.
When contacting a registered agent for registration of an offshore company in the jurisdiction of Ras Al Khaimah, there is no need to come to the United Arab Emirates. This particular aspect distinguishes advantageously this jurisdiction from the other similar trade zones which make the physical presence of the company’s shareholder obligatory at the time of company registration.
It is important to note that, in the event you need an account for your new Ras Al Khaimah offshore company, it becomes necessary to come to the UAE. In accordance with the official regulations of the central bank of the UAE all banks are obliged to proceed with the identification of the identity of account holders. For this reason you would need to come to the UAE for one day.
