Steps to get Indian Passport for Qatar born baby
Hi Guys,
I am updating this post as of 2015
STEP 1 : OBTAIN BABY'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
1) Go to Hamad Women's hospital "Birth certificate registration department" which is on the right hand side of the Main Reception itself. Timings are 7:00 am to 11:30 am.
2) Collect the application and fill it up.
The following Supporting Documents are needed
a)Passport copies of parents.
b)Id (RP) copies of parents.
c)Attested marriage certificate.
d)Booklet issued by the Hospital for your newborn.
3) Pay QR 20 for each certificate (It’s an original one). You can choose either Arabic / English Version. For each additional copy of the Birth certificate Hamad Hospital charges 20 QAR (So it’s your choice of how many birth certificate copies to take)
4) Once the application is accepted and payment is done( CREDIT card) the lady will ask you to come generally the next day.
Mabrook. Your Baby has a birth certificate.
Note :
1. Take original documents also
2. If you baby is not born at Hamad, you will need to bring the information from the hospital where he/she was born
3. Make sure you fill all details properly. The name you give in the application form will be used in the Birth certificate which will be later used in the passport.
SO PLEASE DONT MISPELL YOUR CHILDS NAME OTHERWISE TO CORRECT IT WILL BE A LONG PROCESS.

@dentaldoctor
Sorry I cant help as both my kids were born in Doha
@ahmedzaki99
No you don't have to do any MOFA attestation for Indian passport or birth registration
@fouz
If your read carefully I have mentioned that for Spouse name attestation you can go to Indian cultural centre. For birth registration and passport it is Indian Embassy.
Its not Indian Cultural Centre - Please update the Article by writing INDIAN EMBASSY (which is in Al Hilal - Near Aster Clinic) - First I went to Indian Cultural Centre too for passport of my new born but they turned me away saying that for Passport of new born, I must submit the documents at Indian Embassy.
Reach there early morning to avoid very very very very long queue. They tell you to come after 10 days to collect passport in Evening. Please reach there well before 4:00 PM to avoid very very very long queue. Both times you will find very long queues. Make sure that you have enough copies of the documents as there will be very very very long queue at the Xerox counter too. Parking is also key issue which you can avoid by reaching early. Very very very Best of Luck. :)
Really informative. Kindly could you advice if the baby is born in India and wife is under my sponsorship. What are the steps needed to be taken inorder to prepare a passport back home in India. I heard you need to fill up some documents at INDIAN EMBASSY.

Great informative stuff for all. Thanks a lot bro.
Additional Info. Does any of the locally issued document like women's hospital issued booklet and birth certificate needs attestation from MOFA( Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
