If the child was born in the UK after either parent were granted settlement, the child is British by birth and may apply for British passport.

If the child was born in the UK before either parent was granted settlement, then registration as British citizen is required before one can apply for British passport.
Life isn't fair, but you can be!

Please read the form again. It doesn't say that one of the parents has to be British.
