Citizen by Descent:

Children of Pakistanis who are born outside of Pakistan are citizens by descent. If the parent of such child is a citizen by descent himself/herself (as born outside of Pakistan) the child is required to be registered in the nearest consulate or Pakistani mission.
Children born to Pakistani mother and foreign national father, after 18.04.2000, are treated as citizens of Pakistan.

although child has citizen by descent but this will only happen if they registered to nearest consulate or Pakistani mission.

from above statement my opinion child is entitle to subject application for BC if he lived 5 years as stateless.

anyone has or had any experience on it?

The child of a Pakistani parent who was themselves (the parent) born in Pakistan is not stateless, but automatically a Pakistani citizen, even of they do not have a Pakistani passport.

Such a child can therefore not be registered under the statelessness provisions.

Such a provision only kicks in for children born abroad to parents whose nationality does not automatically descent to their children, such as Indian and Australian citizens.

sorry this link

moreover there is requirement

Registration Requirement for Overseas Pakistanis
(i) Registration of Child's Birth.
(ii) Annual Registration.

(i) Registration of Birth of a Child of Citizen of Pakistan Born in Country Outside Pakistan:
The birth of such children may be reported by the parents or guardians on Form S to the concerning Pakistan's Mission abroad within a period of six months.

(ii) Annual Registration by a Citizen of Pakistan Resident Abroad:

and form S is citizenship form.

i don't agree about automatically citizenship, when i look into their website there is requirement to get child citizenship for example

1) form S is citizenship form

although he is entitle due to their parents like other nationalities but have to register to this missions.

This is the document that the Home Office has on Pakistani nationality law and what Home Office caseworkers will refer to.

Form S is not a citizenship form, as the Pakistani government website itself states.

Registration of Birth of a Child of Citizen of Pakistan Born in Country Outside Pakistan:
The birth of such children may be reported by the parents or guardians on Form S to the concerning Pakistan's Mission abroad within a period of six months.

This registration is not acquisition of Pakistani citizenship/nationality, bit merely the registration of the birth of a Pakistani citizen abroad, the equivalent of a consular birth certificate for British citizens born abroad. Both Form S registration and British consular birth certificates are voluntary actions for the respective citizens by descent born abroad.

Trust me they issue citizen certificate when they apply through form S
