Address Details for the last 5 years? I have answerd YES about my current address as being the previous for the last 5 years. Correct?
Country of Nationality? He doesnot have any nationality at the moment or passport at the moment. I am from Pakistan. Should I write Pakistan in the answer?

You need to apply for his passport , that will your son's ID card.
I am not sure about other equivalent valid ID card or travel Document.
Passport would be the one

NO ( as you would need to fill the passport or valid ID card details in the preceding section)

A UK born child does NOT need a foreign passport to register as British. Birth certificate is sufficient for identity.

Thank you @CR001 and apologies @1434514 for the passport information.
I did not know that and my story was our Immigration lawyer mentioned it is required to have the passport.
Even i had mentioned that it is not mandatory and would cost £££ to get it and cancel it. Well i should have checked this forum a year ago. Thanks again.

Good Morning Experts
Can any one help please on the referee issue , As my son is only 5 months old so there is no professional who has dealt with him and my GP doesn't act as referee. So document I can provide to show "that they have attemped to do so"as my GP doesn't issue any letters for services rejected.
"For child applicants at least one of the referees must be a person who has dealt with
the child in a professional role such as a teacher, doctor, health visitor or social
worker. Where a child cannot provide a referee who has dealt with them in a
professional capacity and has provided documents to show that they have attempted
to do so, you can accept 2 referees who meet the criteria for referees on adult
applications."
