thank you for the replay i read it and im still not sure here where i think its refers to me>
Table A
Identity, name and address and/or residency evidence
First British Passport
If you are applying for a First British Passport you must provide a minimum of 3 documents from the list below as evidence of name and address and/or residency including:
• at least one document with photo identity; and
• two documents which show both your name and address and/or proof of residency
• Non-British uncancelled passport
• National identity card or equivalent (or colour photocopy)
• Driving licence
• Any government or local government produced document which includes a photograph as part of the document
• Visa or residence permit (or colour photocopy)
• Tax record eg a letter from a tax authority
• Educational record eg school report
• Employment record eg official letter from your employer
• Letter sent to you from a central, regional or local government department
• Medical/health card
• Voter’s card
• Immigration documents.
As well as the above, if you are applying for a Child First British Passport the following documents are also accepted. One of the documents provided should show a
link to the parent applying and show that the child and parent are resident where they are applying from.
You must also provide a selection of family photographs of the child with the parents, named and dated over a period of time from birth to current day
• Parents’ identity cards
• Child’s school records
• Medical/hospital records (birth records)
• Mother’s antenatal records
im confused do i just send the copy of mine and my wifes passports and birth certificate and mothers antenatal records will that be sufficient documents?

You are overthinking this.
Antenatal records are confidential, not sure why you think this has to be submitted.
Are you British born?
How old is the child?
Do you realise that passport applications from abroad can take 6-12 months?

You'll need to send at least a colour photocopy of your daughter's passport as well. That's explicitly asked for in the form. (At least, I assume she has a passport.)

They're on the list of acceptable documents - second part of Table A.

It should take
6 weeks from the UAE for someone born in Pakistan. HMPO admits to at least 16 weeks for India.
