Documents required are often subject to the Country in question, it is often full birth certificate, any registration document and full birth medical record (name of parents, child weight etc), in addition to evidence of parents and your British nationality.

See the documents you require (click), the application must be an overseas one, you can request that the passport be delivered to you, in the UK, if there are good reasons.
