Ras Al Khaimah testing options include Tasjeel RAK Auto Village and Al Ghurair in Al Qussaidat. Choose a centre for your vehicle category, not just the nearest map result.

Primary sources checked: 18 October 2026. Fees and conditions come from MOI's Vehicle Technical Inspection and Vehicle Ownership Renewal services. Check the source notes on the chosen branch page for address, service and timetable limitations.

Choosing a centre
Al Ghurair is identified in Al Qussaidat by its operator and in RAK Police's contact information. RAK Auto Village is separately named in Tasjeel's locator; its exact entrance and testing hours still need checking. The older Shamil RAK and ADNOC RAK inspection identities could not be confirmed and are no longer active entries in this directory.
MOI does not publish an appointment rule for testing. Check the branch's hours and the services it offers before you travel, especially for a heavy vehicle or motorcycle.
Branch information checked on 19 October 2026 against Tasjeel's locator and RAK Police's published Al Ghurair entry. Authority-page details were available through indexed content; direct retrieval timed out.

After the test: renewal
Renew once the test result and insurance are recorded. The conditions and fee table are the same MOI service used in Sharjah; see the Sharjah and MOI renewal guide. A car registered in Dubai or Abu Dhabi follows that emirate's rules instead.
Before you go
- Bring the vehicle, the registration card and your Emirates ID; MOI lists the ownership card and ID for the test.
- Settle outstanding fines and arrange 13 months of insurance before renewing.
- Run through the pre-test checklist before you leave.
