Passport photos for ID's, visas, and some sort of passport are required.

There are several procedures that you will have to follow, for which you will need your newborn baby's passport photographs. You will need the photo's for Emirates ID and also for a residency Visa but remember that your child's eyes should be open while the photos are being taken for identification purposes. Instead of going out and getting the photos, you can just lay your baby on a white cloth, which will make the background, and then take some pictures in natural lighting so that even the newborn is not disturbed.

The Passport Procedure:

You will have 120 days from your baby's birth to arrange the passport and a residency visa. The baby will adopt the father's nationality; in some cases, it does happen that the mother and father both are from different nationalities. Right before the newborn arrives, you get it checked from your embassy or from the official's website about the process you will have to follow for the overseas application and how the fees differ from one country to another. You must wait ten weeks for all this to happen, which is why it is advised that you do all the procedures early.

Now, it's arranging Emirates ID and Visa for your newborn baby, just like the passport. This also needs 120 days from the child's birth for you to arrange an Emirates ID and residency visa.

This process of filling out the application form can only be done after the passport has been issued to your child. You can get the application form filled out at a tasheel office, where the typist will complete it for you.

Documents required to be submitted to the GDRFA:

The Visa application form is prepared by the typing office
The original copies of the newborn's attested birth certificate
A newborn's passport or any one parent's passport attached to it.
Three passport-sized photos of the newborn baby
passport copies of the sponsor
copy of an employment contract for the sponsor or a salary certificate
Original and a photocopy of the attested marriage certificate.
Tenancy contracts registered through the Ejari online system of real estate regulatory agency (RERA)
Fees

To make it easier, here's a fee breakdown:

Birth certificate: it will cost you approximately Dh 50 for each copy. (in Arabic)
Birth certificate: Dh 50 per copy (in English)
Tasheel Attestation Fee: Dh 150 from Ministry of foreign affairs per copy that you get attested
Visa fee: approximately Dh 250
Passport fees- differ

All these procedures are a lot for the parents right after the baby's birth because of all the hospital hassle and the mother's sickness still being there. But once all the procedures for the residency visa, passport, and Emirates ID are done, you are going to enjoy it because you will have everything for your baby's first trip. The baby needs to have this entire thing ready well in advance.
