basically, you need to apply for a passport and citizenship for the baby at the same time. each has it's own application and requirements. if you have been in qatar for less than 2 years, you will also need a PPT-132 form (declaration in liew of guarantor). mention in your email that you have no guarantor if you have been here less than 2 years. they will also send you a PPT-112 form which is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions - be sure to ask them which box you are supposed to tick on this form.
citizenship can take up to 10 months. the passport should take 3 weeks.
they will issue your baby a one year temporary passport at first, and then when the citizenship is done, you can apply for a permanent passport.
BUT **** read the forms carefully. they are confusing and the embassy staff (for the most part) are not helpful. i had to get a passport in egypt too and they weren't very nice there either.
good luck!
